Roger Tarras wrote a sympathy message

“I played football for Pete at Teaneck HS in the 1970's and have some very fond memories of those times. It was a challenging environment, usually playing against larger schools in the old NNJIL, but he was a smart, caring - though sometimes fiery - coach and leader who did his best to promote opportunities for many of us during and beyond high school. (Brother Alex, coaching at Bergenfield, got the better of us more often than not!) RIP, Pete - you will be missed by many. Roger Tarras, THS '74”
