After being hospitalized for nearly a year in a military hospital in Japan and in San Francisco, he returned to Parlier, CA where he worked as a self-employed truck driver for nearly 10 years.

Although Pete never married or had children of his own, he was proud to be a generous and loving uncle to all his nieces, nephews and great nephews and nieces.

Pete had a special love for classic cars and was proud to own a 1934 Model A Ford, a 1967 Chevy C10 Pickup Truck, two 1948 Chevy Fleetmasters, and a 1946 2-door Ford Coupe. Pete enjoyed trips to Cherry Auction, the local casinos and traveled many times to visit family still residing in Texas.
