Pete taught me fly tying some 30 years ago, and we have been good friends ever since.
He accompanied me to Burlington and helped me select my first set of fly tying gear... vice, hackles, etc. Then we sat down and he taught me the basics, including one of his personal favorites which he called "Peter's Preference".
My first fly was a Peters Preference... over-dubbed and over-hackled.. as newbies are prone to do.
But I caught a trout and two shiners before I broke the tip off the hook, and I have it to this day as the capstone of my fly collection.
Peter was a serious hunter and we loved to hunt partridge and woodcock over his dog, who wore a radio collar so we could keep her location known (Pete dearly loved his dogs).
Pete carried a beautiful12-gauge Browning superposed shotgun, and I carried an equally beautiful 20 gauge Browning superposed shotgun, and together we sort of resembled the cover of an old Argosy magazine, hauling at least five grand's worth of fine shotguns around behind a magnificent and well-trained dog in beautiful Backwoods, Vermont.
It just don't get any better than that.
Peter was also a master gardener with a green thumb and I saved the most recent emails that we exchanged in a flurry of email during the fall harvest season last year. My last email from him was dated October 22nd, and Pete never let on how sick he was.
Just 64 days later we lost him.
Thanks, Peter, for all the joy, and learning you brought into my life.
An amazing guy like you cannot be forgotten...

Joe -- I am sorry for your loss. I remember we were talking about my going to Vermont to see Pete about finding some good trout fishing. Sadly I didn't get there. AS missed opportunity.

I remember a 6’oclock curveball he threw me 55 years ago.
Heartening to hear Peter lived and contributed passionately.

I graduated from East Catholic with Pete. We used to share fishing stories and discuss what the best techniques and lures were at lunch and in between classes. He was a great guy. I am sad to hear of his passing, but, glad to read that he followed his passions. Rest In Peace Pete.
