We will miss seeing your dad at the West Harrison games . He was a lot of fun and so sweet with the great grand kids I remember that one of the last baseball games we went to he named off every one of them I’m thinking holy moley!
You are in our thoughts and prayers.We will think of him at every game.
Thinking of you at this time of loss. Cherish your memories of a wonderful man.
I spent many years growing up with the Cunard family. Pete and Connie always treated me like part of the family. As a joke I always called Pete “Harry”. He will be missed by many and has left the family with many great memories.

Thanks Pete. Your whole family took me in and made me feel welcome. I had some times with the Cunard boys. Good memories. Thanks for your passion for baseball.
