Pete and Amber having fun

I was very fortunate to have both my Grandparents when I raising Amber, they both watched her while I worked. Pete was the type of man who like to play outside, Amber loved it because she too love to be outside as well, Pete took her to climb the trees at New Temple Park, when she was done climbing Pete would take the sand from the park home so they could make sand castle, he’d mix glue in the sand so it would hold its shape (He was always creating something). Pete even thought Amber to ride her fist little Mermaid bike, he’d hold the back of the seat and run with her while she peddled as fast as she could, without Amber knowing he let go … and she was on her way, ridding all my herself. Amber was always with Pete and Nanny, Monday Thur Friday Pete would take Nanny to visit her Dad Welito (he lived in a convalescent home), while Nanny sat with her Dad, Pete and Amber mostly waited outside in the front of the facility,,, yes you guessed it there was tree there too, Pete would help her climb it and play in the dirt too, Pete was always joking he told Amber he was going to teach her to speak Chinese so he’d make up his own words, and soon she would too…. singing laughing they didn't care when people walked by. Pete even went as far as hooking up a microphone and recorded the two of them singing into it making up their own words. (I wonder if that tapes still around, that would be great to listen to)

Pete was an AMAZING Grandfather and Great Grandfather. I’m going to miss his sense of humor especially because I got it. sometime his jokes would fly over Gina’s head.. LOL … you know when Baby Paul was little he told him that colored people were bears and yes, he believed him.. Pete would pick up Poli from work, and while they waited for him to come out, Pete would tell Little Paul “do you see the bears” .. Little Paul when home and told his Mom he says bears.
