Just got word yesterday that my dear cousin had transitioned. Have many fond memories of hanging out with Pete and my brother, "Brother" Cannon. Mom (Catherine) would take us to the "country" in the summer and we would play on the swing at the big house with the swing and with other cousins, aunt Doris' children. Pete and Brother were always up to something. Even though we did not see much of each other in the ensuing years, there was and will always be a bond and memory. Rest now my cousin and let the arms of God enfold you and give you peace. Cousin Glenn
