Shocked to hear the news of Pete's death as we have been out of the area. Pete was the kindest man at SBS. He was always willing to help but most importantly, he always..always....always had a smile on his face. We will miss him. He was our friend.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Pete. I work as a Teacher's Aide at Southern Blvd. School. Pete always had a smile on his face. He was always helpful to everyone. I enjoyed chatting with him during the children's lunch hour in the cafeteria. May you find comfort during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to Pete's family. Pete was a terrific guy. I will miss our conversations after school in the library. He was always pleasant, smiling, and willing to lend a helping hand. He was a hard worker and will be missed at SBS! Rest in peace Pete.

Deb, Daniel and Lauren,
We'll remember the most recent smiles and conversation we shared with Pete only weeks ago. He always had a pleasant manner and was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was so proud of his family and we'll pray for a sense of peace and comfort you may receive from fond memories of the husband and dad you knew and loved.
Love,
Donna and Bill

There are no words to express the sorrow the Greenfeder family feels about Pete passing. He was like a brother to Pam and Michael and a second dad to Mary, Phillip and Michelle. We will never forget the good times we had together and all the parties you attended at our home. He used to call our home the Greenfeder Inn. Rest assured Pete that the Greenfeder Inn will always be open and we will take good care of Debbie, Danny, and Lauren. I know you will always be here in spirit. Love you and miss you so much. Pam, Michael, Mary, Phillip and Michelle.
