Скачать или смотреть Mi Governor Rick Snyder Remembers Peter Pettalia

At today's "Celebration of Life" for beloved State Representative Peter Pettalia, who died in a motorcycle accident Monday evening, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder took a moment to remember the great statesman, conservationist, outdoorsman, and family man.

I last saw Peter at the 2016 Polar Plunge, where he was volunteering his time to raise money for Special Olympics by emceeing the event and I - at the request of a few of my viewers - jumped in the lake.

I will always remember him as a kind man who cared about the people of Northern Michigan, serving them his entire life in multiple capacities, a gentleman who reveled in and cared for nature and promoted the responsible stewardship of our natural resources, and a man who never failed to return phone calls from this pesky reporter with helpful advice and useful information.

I would like to add my prayers, and those of my family, to the multitude of others being said for Peter's wife Karen, and his children Anna Skowronek and Peter Pettalia II, as they mourn their loss.

Peter Pettalia was a good man who loved his family, friends, neighbors, and life in Northern Michigan. As evidenced by attendance at today's Celebration of Life, Northern Michigan loved him back.

God Bless and Semper Fi,
