We went to port hope recovery centre together over 8 years ago. You were always a happy and pure soul. RIP my old friend.
Paul, Irene, Alicia, Julianna, Maria, family. I am so sorry for the loss of your son, brother, brother inlaw,and uncle. I pray god speed through the pain and anguish you all are going through. I wish there were words I could say to stop that pain. They say the pain we feel is the amount of love we shared. Pete was such an easy going down to earth humble man. The conversations over the years showed how sincere he was looking in your eyes. He had a handshake like his word. He was a solid man. Never complained and always greeted you with his smile. My heart aches for all of you at this difficult time. Hold onto each other and know Pete is not suffering and in anymore pain. Just know that even though you can't see him, you can feel his presence beside you. He is always beside you.
Godspeed Alejandra 🙏💙
Paul, Irene and Family - our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time. Cherish your memories.

Ali’s spirit left a mark everywhere he went, on everyone he touched. I loved our talks, and I could always feel God living between us. He was a true gem and will be so missed. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and all those who will feel his loss.
Our sincere condolences to the Raycraft family. Petesy will be missed by so many. He was kindhearted, gentle and very funny. We will remember listening to his amazing guitar playing in the basement and his famous one liners that always made us laugh. He was such a special guy.
Ali was someone I met through a weekly virtual support group. The strength he demonstrated to overcome his challenges before and during his illness have left an indelible mark on me. I will miss him dearly ❤️ My condolences to the family 🙏
