Pete and myself hired in to Penske about the same time back in 2004. We both started out of the Pontiac terminal running SPO
It was about a year later mid 2005 we transferred up to the Flint terminal. Working together pretty much on second shift for the next nine years we became good friends. He went through a lot in his life but for the most part maintain a positive attitude.
He would often stop by my house Saturday morning after work to visit my grandchildren and play with my dog…TJ. As I remember it, Pete was the only person TJ allowed in without even barking at! Good with coworkers, children, and animals Pete was a great friend and he will be a great loss to many!
R.I.P. Brother Rohde – You Will Be Missed!
