Last Friday I learned about the passing of a dear friend and one of my better detail customers...He has had some heath issues in recent years, but felt that most of those where under-control.

He died in his sleep while visiting his brother in New Jersey last week.

Pete was one of my first customers here in Sonoma County, starting back in 2000 and I continued to work on his car almost every month..rain or shine in most cases....The last time that I did his Corvette was a the week of Christmas...he wanted it clean for his trip to his sister house.

I will miss him dearly, as well as cleaning his car...it wasn`t as much about the money with this guy...it was the passion that he had for cars that I enjoyed!

RIP Pete!

Steve... I don`t know why?

It was a name given to him by his friends well before I met him...might have been his personality
