Pete\u2019s family extended further as well to all of his employees that work at the family business.\u00a0 Wilbert\u2019s, Inc. started in 1952 and was where Peter called home the majority of his life.

He loved to spend time every day with each and every one of his team and customers with many turning into life-long relationships.<\/p>

No matter what was on the agenda, he would always find a way to make humor a part of it. \u00a0\u00a0From wild games that he would create for family gatherings to regular practical jokes, his day was only filled if he was able to get others to smile or laugh.\u00a0 He continued this outlook with grace even throughout his fight over the last few months.\u00a0 With this in mind, in lieu of flowers please direct any memorials to Holy Trinity Church at 1460 Ridge Road, Webster, NY 14580 or The Gusundheit Institute (PatchAdams.org)<\/p>
