Pete’s Memorial Service/Repass

As we sat at the white linen covered tables conversing about the service, the waitresses began serving a colorful tossed salad. There was a pitcher of Pepsi and one of water along with a pot of coffee on each table. Also on the tables were bowls of hot Italian bread and butter­. When finished with the salad, the food line was waiting, so we grabbed a plate.

There was penny vodka, sausage & peppers, lemon chicken, egg plant rolatini, quarter roasted potatoes, green beans with shaved almonds. Now, if that isn’t enough, there was another serving bar with roast beef and a large bowl of calamari. If you could find something you liked, next door was Serento’s which is one of the best bakeries in the area. Nobody left however.

The open bar was there, but most people didn’t partake in it. To finish off the dinner was a multi-layer red velvet cake with vanilla ice cream. It was a Memorial Service and Repass fitting for Pete. He would have loved and approved of it.

Everyone there respected Pete for who he was and what he did. He will be missed.
