He became estranged from his daughters until Shelia decided she wanted to find her daddy, picked up the phone and called a Brand phone number in Jasper, Missouri and found his brother Hank, and then both Shelia and Cheryl were able to be reacquainted with their father.

Pete also had many many adventures along lifes highway with his brother Phil and sister Betsy (the 3 musketeers).
