He enjoyed his town and was happy to volunteer when asked; woodworking, stained glass, traveling, gardening and most of all, the time spent with his family.
Pete was a member of Lisbon American Legion Post 109, Optimists Club, Mount Vernon VFW, board member of the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, served as council member and mayor of Lisbon, Mount Vernon/ Lisbon Ambulance board, Knights of Columbus, and was on the planning committee for Lisbon School Million Dollar Challenge.
