Pete and I spoke a couple of times following his departure from TriMet.

I will never forget his words desribing his sadness in how he was exited from an agency, career, and the operators that he loved and was so deeply proud of

I am devasted by this news. I remain forever grateful and humbled by Pete's kindness and good will.

Rest in Peace.

The notice I read said that Pete passed away on Saturday June 30. So sad. 40 plus years on the job, only 4 months of retirement.

I always enjoyed the check rides with Pete. He was always very positive and supportive.

The devil has got a hold of management and there is not an escape route.


Why did he die, smoker & no exercize?

Al M said...

His life was Trimet obviously, they booted him out and he just died.

Pete has two daughters, both beautiful. The youngest daughter was disabled and confined to a wheelchair. She adored her Dad and her Dad showed her the world.
A beautiful family he had--I will miss him.

Another example of how retirees don't always get to enjoy those benefits; at least he made it to retirement

When I started, another trainer (30+ years) told me that the average operator dies after 6 months of retirement (this "is" the standard), which "is" sad, and Pete "was" a good guy, always had a positive word for operators. His type of suport staff "will" be missed. "We" all have to protect "our" health at "all" costs.
