So heartbreaking to hear this news. We had a soft spot for Pete as he was a loner. Pete shared his adventures and pictures from the past of his re-enactments in Wyoming it was where he wanted to retire to. The furs and pelts he crafted over the years were done with skill. He had a great love of hunting & trapping. Rest in peace Pete you will be sorely missed. Now you can have all the Jolly ranchers & Stella Doro’s your heart desires and not worry about the ingredients ❤️
