I was saddened to hear of the passing of my Uncle Pete and would like to extend my condolences to his extended family. My mother, Fidelma (Dell), always spoke with great fondness of her brother, and on the one occasion I had the pleasure of meeting him I could instantly see why. May he rest in peace.
