  • I just learned of Pete’s passing and wanted to pass on my deepest sympathies.
    Forty-two years ago, I started working at Modine Manufacturing Company as a wide-eyed engineer, two weeks out of college. Back in those days, new engineers learned the ropes by spending many weeks in the testing labs. During my time in the testing labs, Pete was one of the guys who took me under his wing and taught me a tremendous amount about Modine’s business. I always appreciated his kindness to me. I tried through-out my own 32 career at Modine to also help the new employees any way I could, like Pete did for me. He taught me a great lesson.

    May your fond memories of Pete sustain you during this difficult time.

    Sincerely,
    Jim Rulseh
    Executive Vice President – Retired
    Modine Manufacturing Company
