“I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Pettipiece. He was a kind neighbor and was always kind to us kids. One memory that wialways stick with me was my son’s very first Halloween. Mr. Pettipiece got right down on one knee and had a little conversation with my one-year-old, like he was the most important person in the world. It was such a sweet moment, and it said so much about the kind of person he was. -Vicki LaMarsh”
