He was an amazing role model, leading by example and his fun, welcoming nature helped me adjust to both running and high school. After getting to know him better, I realized he wasn't going out of his way to help freshman, it was just who he was. He was warm and confident, and that rubbed off on those around him. I feel blessed to have known him and am deeply sorry for your loss.Tim Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207493036887994485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571227031954250266.post-69097720125013535802013-12-11T13:25:51.808-05:002013-12-11T13:25:51.808-05:00I think I have written/re-written this well over t...I think I have written/re-written this well over twenty times trying to come up with the best way to describe the polarizing feelings of sadness that my friend is no longer with us and the elation that I had the privilege of knowing Pete for well over half my life. <br /><br />We grew up together. From our days riding bikes, and playing basketball for St. Clare, to summer Knothole baseball. All the way to our time spent at St. Xavier High. <br /><br />I was thinking about a word that adequately describes who Pete is and I instantly came back to the Jesuits. The place that solidified my faith, the place that welcomed me and let me grow as a man has also left me with a single word....magis. A Latin word that means "better." It is taken from 'Ad majorem Dei gloriam' a Latin phrase meaning "for the greater glory of God." Magis refers to the philosophy of doing more, for Christ, and therefore for others. Pete is and always will be a 'man for others'. <br /><br />Your star still burns bright in the hearts and minds of all those touched by your spirit. Sending love and blessings to your whole family. <br /><br />Jonathan Dicks Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571227031954250266.post-85540918675817866742013-12-10T14:00:56.336-05:002013-12-10T14:00:56.336-05:00Eileen,

It was a great trip with life-long memories. I was informed by a friend and someone who also went on the trip with us, Elizabeth Lucier-Sebjiek about the sad news. Pete was, as everyone has affirmed also, a great guy. I will be offering a mass for Pete, and for your whole family. <br />Grateful for my opportunity to have known him during college, sadden at his loss.<br /><br />Fr.

Although I had only spoken with Pete a handful of times he left a lasting impression on me. The world has lost a bright shining soul who I know will be greatly missed by many but never forgotten. <br /><br />May you embrace your pain at this time. Cry whenever you need to. Never fight it for what you fight will only get stronger. Smile when you can. Ask for what you need. Spend time with those who love you most. And know, as I am sure you do, Pete is standing by you through it all. <br /><br />I will continue to pray for your comfort and peace at this time of great sadness. I feel blessed to have known Pete. Your story, which Pete shared though his blog, will inspire me forever. Sending you and all the Mosher family much love.<br /><br />Krishna Joshi<br />krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065076910761648644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571227031954250266.post-87745909703673376162013-12-10T12:05:50.930-05:002013-12-10T12:05:50.930-05:00Hugs and prayers Moshers...JoeyHugs and prayers Moshers...JoeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571227031954250266.post-41962661988445721272013-12-10T02:22:44.640-05:002013-12-10T02:22:44.640-05:00I only just now learned what you & your family...I only just now learned what you & your family have been going through, after reading a post made by Dave Hawkins.

Your heart was ripped open as were the hearts of so many people who loved you both - and loved your love for each other. I think it is heartening to know that you and Pete talked about this and that he told you - and really, through you, all of us - that it is ok to be sad. And to go at life with gusto. <br /><br />I think you know that you have many who love you, family and friends, who will be there for you when you need them. Don't forget to take care of yourself and ask for that help and support, not just now but for many years to come. <br /><br />Pete was awesome. He will not be forgotten. You are awesome.

As his predecesor at MSJ, it was an honor to pass the torch to Pete, knowing he would bring the clinical education program to even a better place than he found it. I wish I had half the gift of words as Pete but suffice it to say, you are all in my prayers and we are all better from knowing Pete. His legacy will continue for years to come at MSJ, our OH-KY Consortium and the PT clinical education world, as well as all of us individually.
