When I first met Pete in Cub Scouts his look intimidated  me.  I soon found out that he was a big teddy bear, always willing lend a hand.  When we crossed over to Boy Scouts with our children I also found out he was a great cook and I often came home after a camping trip heavier that when I went.  Also as quarter master for the troop, I rarely estimated correctly how many 1 lbs propane tanks Pete needed to complete all his cooking.  You will be missed N2SOB.
