He is survived by his loving wife, Mary Jane (May) of 67 years. They were married at St. Joseph Church in Randolph. He is also survived by children, Barb Jones of Green, Jane (Don) Benner, Margie (Shel) McDougal, Ron Kline, Russ (Traci) Kline and Laura (John) Heater, all of Suffield.

Pete attended St. Joseph School and Suffield High School. His calling was to the family farm, where he spent a lifetime as a full-time dairy farmer along with raising beef cattle. He was a member of Portage County Farm Bureau and a 4-H dairy advisor for 14 years. He was a faithful and dedicated lifetime member of St. Joseph Church and the Knights of Columbus. When Pete wasn’t farming, he enjoyed bowling, playing euchre, and watching his grandchildren at their sporting and 4-H events. He also enjoyed showing cattle and attending the Randolph Fair, where he and his wife, Mary Jane were proudly named the 2016 Portage County Randolph Fair Senior King and Queen. A special thank you to Summa Health and Hospice for their excellent services and care, especially Amy, Beth, Kathi and Paulette.
