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.
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.
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.
Good going Alan Morgan, I hope your proud of yourself....
ReplyDeleteActually brought a tear to my eye!

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.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed the check rides with Pete. He was always very positive and supportive.
ReplyDeleteThe devil has got a hold of management and there is not an escape route.
ReplyDeleteWhy did he die, smoker & no exercize?
His life was Trimet obviously, they booted him out and he just died.

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