Damn... I thought he was getting better. This sucks.

It's not exactly a secret that I've talked shit about some of the stuff he's set up on this board before, but I was actually kind of bummed out when I heard about this.

RIP

Nice dude and a tireless promoter who booked a ton of cool shows I got the chance to see.

Respect.

I'll be the first to ask.

WUT HAPPEN

Saw this on FB early. Shitty news is shitty. RIP.

Pete died? I've known him since around 6th grade. (went to school together - he was a bully surprise surprise)

I liked Pete and he'd always say hi to me at shows. That's too bad. What happened?

Was Pete another North Kingstown alumni? It really is funny how musically minded that town is.

yup, he was.

ps. only Allie's Donuts is real

North Kingstown: Come for Allie's Donuts, stay for Rhode Island's premier outdoor gift shop for tacky and thoughtless souvenirs, Wickford

too true

I remember that dude from my NK days. He always hung with Buddha Jackson (also deceased). Sorry to hear.

and David Blanchard (r.i.p.)

Damn, yup. Pete was the one who always had the mega keggers in NK. He had Dying Fetus one year, Overcast another year (which got broken up by the cops midset). I knew Pete a long time and will never forget him and all he did with shows he got my bands on and the parties at the Jeep Shop (my brother's bachelor party included). I was also good friends with Buddha. Unfortunately the last time I saw Pete was at Buddha's funeral. Gettin older...

Nobody says how he died = heroin.

He's been battling cancer for 2(? ) years. Last I heard on the fb, he was doing better but that was probably 8 months ago. Then I only saw people posting old/longhair pics of him. I should have known something wasn't right so I was surprised when I saw mike Mccarthy's post about this today.

One of the nicest dudes I've Played for. Known Pete for a while and it was always a pleasure. My most heartfelt condolences for those who knew him better and were close. Rhode Island will be that much less awesome without you, bud. Thanks you for the good times. RIP Pete.

Never knew the guy but went to plenty of his shows and even played some. Definitely brought a lot of talent to the area and he will be missed by many. RIP.

man had a huge heart, and was a stand up gentleman. was a pleasure to work with him.
