Peto!! We became friends a couple years ago while working together at LKQ. You were a GREAT man. Funny, passionate about your job, lover of concerts, knowledgeable on many things, woodworking was a hobby, a man I admire for your ever ongoing care and generosity of other people. The guy who would give his shirt, ANYTHING to one who was in need regardless if they took advantage of your kindness!! You deserved more of life - saddened it was cut short. However, God always has a plan and he needed you! May you rest in peace with your parents and brother up in heaven! Party on my friend you are SO VERY missed! XOXO

Oh, wow....where do I begin with Pito. I met him when I first moved to Brunning back in 1984 because I saw this gold '70 Chevelle screaming around our neighborhood. The search for this car led me in front of his house where it was parked on the road. All of a sudden, there were 5-6 monstrous Great Danes standing and barking at me from the other side of a chain-link double gate. Well, that scared the crap out of me since I was only 11 years old. Next, I hear Pito laughing at me since he knew who I was as he and my brother were the same age. He and I met and have been friends ever since that moment. I will never forget that day or the days of wrenching on that car. One particular moment stood out of us heading north at almost 110 mph and hitting the hill on High Rd (if you're from Lockport, you know which one I am talking about)...I believe we got all 4 tires off of the ground and laughed out butts off as we sped down the road. Pito had a fantastically dry sense of humor and he took sarcasm to a whole new level...both of which I will miss terribly. The man really would do anything to help out a friend. He was a light in this dim world that we live in. ....and how about that curly hair...HA! I'm going to miss my friend as he really was one-of-a-kind.
