Nichole, I was so sorry to see the obituary for your father. I never had the chance to meet him but I’m sure he was as friendly and outgoing as you! Losing a family member is hard and losing a parent is even harder but sometimes our Lord needs the company of a good
person too!

Working with Pete, in Hawaii, was a great experience. I learned so much from Pete. He was able to laugh in the worst of situations. Godspeed Petey. My Life is better having known you.
John Grillo says
My deepest sympathies to the entire Schouwenaars family, especially Charlene. I know how close you and Peter were, and how much he missed you while working here on Long Island. I had great respect for Peter for many reasons, but especially, for his uncanny ability to step into a very difficult situation and know exactly what had to be done……..Peter was a “Great Man”. He will be terribly missed by every one whose life he touched.

My thoughts go out to all of his family and friends during this difficult time.

Pete always shared fun and laughter with us and our son, Brian, on our Hawaiian vacations.
He was the “barbecue expert” at all of our beach parties.

We have nothing but happy memories of Pete and all the fun activities we enjoyed.
Pete absolutely LOVED his wife’s cooking!
