I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to friends and family members of Pete. May the Lord's grace comfort you! I was privileged to know Pete over the years and very grateful for that opportunity. I considered him a dear friend, colleague and even a mentor in some ways in the building/construction industry. Unfortunately through our many conversations we could never solve the world's problems. He will be greatly missed by many here on earth as he went home to his heavenly home. Well done Pete!!

Dear friends and family, May God's special grace be with you at this time.

— Kaye Wigger Brokaw

I knew Pete from our early days at G-Ville Christian and all thru high school. Went to church together and double dated in his '59 Chevy! Saw and spoke with him many times as he attended Calvary church were we and his brother Larry attend. So many good memories of a solid Christian man now experiencing our Savior face to face and reunited with Grace, his parents and other friends. Can't make the service due to our obligation managing Mission India Thrift store but I know Pete would understand!

— Rick Sikkema

We'll miss you Pete! Many conversations over the years about sports, building materials, and construction projects. Thank you for the enthusiasm that you displayed in whatever you were involved in. Thanks for the role you played in so many young lives at Calvin Christian. We know you will be missed!

Prayers and blessings to all of you in the Molegraaf family. May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Pete and Grace were great friends to our family and my parents. Pete was my Sunday school teacher and had such a strong faith. His life blessed so many people. Pete and Marc took my dad and I to my first Michigan football game. So grateful for his life!

— Eric Nichols

I had the pleasure of knowing Pete at Grandville Christian grade school. Remember his parents, & brother John who was older than us. So sorry to hear of his passing.
