I will miss you Pete. I enjoyed working with you at River Hills Country Club. You always had a smile on your face and were very great at greeting our members and guests.
Pete was one of the nicest guys i have ever met. My heart goes out to the family.
Have many great memories of Pete. We worked many years together at Butter Krust Bakery. Pete was highly respected and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Pete will surely be missed by all who has ever met him. He never met a stranger. He was a great friend, boss, & Family man. I’m sure Heaven is rejoicing in his arrival for his new journey of life. I’ll always cherish our memories. My thoughts & prayers for God’s love & comfort to the McNabb Family.
I will miss you so much Dad. You set the standard high for all future fathers to live, work, worship and most of all, love his family. You & Mom are talked about throughout the community where you lived and are leaving a big gap where you existed and loved others on this earth. I can only hope I touch half the people on this earth as you did in your 88 years. I played yours & Mom’s favorite songs on the piano today at the service and we all sang along, thinking of you. “that heavenly home, will surely be mine…”
