Mark,
Pete passed in July. I posted this now as a memoriam to him. Thought we might get a thread going to honor those Py'ers who have passed on and maybe remind or announce to those who may have missed the original notices.

Sorry to hear this.
I used to stop in the Niles AutoZone about once a month, on my way from Bangor MI to Michiana to buy Hoosier Lotto tickets and fill up with cheap gas. (circa 1998-2003)
