Pete, My Friend

Pete, My Friend

by Bud Lemire on Jan 27, 2013

I met Pete for the first time at Washington School

We became friends and I thought he was cool

Over the years we'd meet up on Sidewalk Day

He was living his life up at Norway

In the 80's, we would meet up some more

He was working at the Record Emporium store

We would talk about music we liked too

He seemed very different from the boy that I once knew

He had a sense of humor, he was an intelligent man

His knowledge was varied, he was a Beatles fan

Our friends would gather for some Trivial Pursuit

He always ended up winning, he was so astute

He was a local DJ, I'd stop to see him there

He was a friend who truly knew how to care

He worked at Dominoes, delivered pizza as well

Whenever we got together, he had some news to tell

When I moved into the Harbor Tower in 2004

He was the first visitor, I met him at the door

We'd keep in touch through e-mail and on Facebook

He enjoyed my pictures and would always take a look

We'll miss you Pete, I guess it was your time to go

If you see John or George, tell them I said hello

In memory of my friend Pete Frecchio

who has found a better home in Heaven

Pete Frecchio July 23, 1960 - Jan 26, 2013
