Tom Pier Fitzgerald officiating.  Interment Floral View Memorial Gardens.  Relatives and friends may meet the family Friday from 1-3 and 5-8 pm at Matthysse-Kuiper-DeGraaf (Kentwood) 4646 Kalamazoo SE and Saturday from 10-11am at the church prior to the service.  Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Tulip Tree Fund of Hospice of Holland or Congregational Care Fund of Grandville United Methodist Church.  The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the staff at Hospice House of Holland for the compassionate and loving care given to Pete.
