Leonardo Martinez's memory board

Memories of A Gentle Soul I see his smile so sincere I see the excitement in his eyes as if a child I feel his concern - the love from his heart he was so eager to share

Everything I see reminds me of Pete. Even the small things. Birds flying, clouds, rain, sunshine, flowers, trees and so much more. He was a humble person that enjoyed those simple things that many take for granted. But Pete knew that Jehovah's hands were in all that he observed and enjoyed. Silently, Pete worshipped the creator. For this reason I f...more

Tio Pete, I saw a boat today and thought of you.. And every boat I see from now on I'll think of you and the summers I spent with you and titi... You took me the first time I went on a fishing boat.. The first time I ate calamari at sheepshead Bay. I Don't remember if I liked it as a kid but I do remember how much you liked it...I always looked for...more

Pete will always be missed. We had much in common, we took on many projects together and was glad I had the opportunity to work closely with him, he enjoyed working on cars and helping others, when he stared at a tree or a living creature , I saw how he admired our creator, he enjoyed the ocean and the peace that came with it. He loved his family....more

The thing that stands out to me about Peté is that he was a decent person. That makes him super special to me. Our lives on this planet are short. The Bible calls life a vapor. We are here one moment and gone the next. In the final analysis our credentials are meaningless. Our awards mean nothing. In fact people are not interested in our accomplish...more

El Señor se llevó un gran hombre, más que mi yerno era mi hijo. Pete, agradezco con todo mi corazón tu humildad, bondad y sobretodo la ternura y el amor incondicional que siempre me expresaste. Construiste una gran familia, descansa en paz. Con todo mi amor, tu suegra Illa

Very few people in your life do you really know. Some you know for a couple of years some longer but people surprise you all the time with who they real are. My brother In Law Peté passed away two days ago, one month ago he caught the Corona virus which led to other complications. Just one month and now we lost him. I think back to the first da...more

Not Thou but I by Philip Bourke Marston It must have been for one of us, my own, To drink this cup and eat this bitter bread, Had not my tears upon thy face been shed, Thy tears had dropped on mine; if I alone Did not walk now, thy spirit would have known My loneliness, and did my feet not tread This weary path and steep, thy feet had bled F...more

Pete was more than a brother-in-law. He was as close to me as my brothers. Whenever I went back to NY to stay with him and Edna, Pete always made sure I had my favorite cheese danish and Italian bread there.He always brought our mother the Spanish newspaper. Pete was a gentleman in every sense.We loved to tease him when he did something wrong. ...more

Pete was a special person and we all loved him very much. He was a good father, friend and especially a good husband. He was the type of person who would do anything for you. Many times Pete would fix our car, when it needed repair. He also use to take Andre Jr. Fishing. Pete was a hard worker for his family, as his family was everything to him. W...more

I didn’t know Peter very well, but I do know he always stopped to say hello whenever I caught him leaving the Kingdom Hall. He had a warm smile and always shared it with me. I know Edna is hurting right now but having the resurrection hope in Acts 24:15 is a wonderful blessing. I look forward to seeing Peter real soon. I miss & love you Edna.

The Greatest Love Story When we moved to Puerto Rico when we were young we left many loved ones in N.Y. Edna left her boyfriend, Pete. Edna, did not know then that Pete would be her husband and the love of her life. I guess Pete knew. Pete decided to go to Puerto Rico to look for Edna. I remember Pete told us that when he got to the town of Guayan...more
