Pete aka "txpete" Has Passed
Last night. Di says he went peacefully sitting in his recliner. God Bless. Never met the man, and like so many here, and other boards, he became like a brother.

May the pipes play well for you Pete.

Re: Pete aka "txpete" Has Passed
A very sad day indeed . He was a good guy, and was into the Finnish Mosin Nagants. We talked a lot about the Mosin Nagants and he was willing to listen and give advise, no question was a stupid question to Pete.
I will miss him and his friendliness and knowledge.

Re: Pete aka "txpete" Has Passed
Pete Taylor obviously a fine fine individual. Look through the pictures in the obituary and look at the gaze of the grandson in the last and see if you don't see Pete.
