Pete passed away on July 23, 2013, survived by his wife, Mary O’Connor, daughter, Melissa Covington, and son, Andrew Siegfried.
His family shared this memory of him: “His immense talent for worrying was exceeded only by his generosity and devotion to his family and friends. He will be remembered by all for his thin attempts at projecting a gruff exterior which could barely contain one of the sweetest men on earth.”
