I was a Claims Supervisor with Pete who later contributed to my receiving a promotion to my first Branch Manager position in Toledo in 1990. As an African American, that was a significant development with Crawford and Company at that time. I will always be thankful for Pete's wisdom, and friendship. My sincere condolences to the family.

I was a claims supervisor for Pete at the Upper Darby Branch #98 for Crawford and Company. Pete was a great, kind and gentle person. One time however, probably around 1985, a claimant who visited our office because he wanted to be paid in cash that day vs. we only pay by drafts was becoming unreasonably beligerent and Pete came out of nowhere and intervened by physically pushing the guy 15-20 feet out the door and locked the door. It was nice knowing Pete had our backs and cared for us all. That ended that. Thanks Pete! Condolences to the family.

Pete and I worked together in Crawford's northeast region and met when he was manager of the Philadelphia office. He was a solid manager -- professional, warm-hearted, with a great sense of humor. My condolences to his daughters and family. RIP. Elise Farnham.

Pete was a terrific friend during our mutual service to Crawford in Canada. We shared many times of friend-

ship with our wives and made sales calls together in

Toronto. We shared a mutual sense of humor and Pete

was an outstanding manager at Crawford. I will miss

him and his wife. RIP John Penick
