Co-worker at YMCA falls fatally to COVID-19

Pete Meenen a person who i had the privilege to work with at the Breentwood Family YMCA located on concord rd, has sadly passed at the age of 73-years old due to contracting the COIVD-2019 virus. He was a respectful, kind, gentle man that enjoyed his job, working as a greeter at the YMCA. He was a blessing to work and share thoughts and ideas, he was receptive to all the good words you had to say. He spent time and energy making the YMCA a better to place to visit as the guests were entering and leaving. Bottom line, he was adored and loved by many. There are many people who you want to meet, that have great character and you can share your thoughts with, Pete was one of those people. This newly viral virus has devastated many lives, as has any other virus. People fail to realize the magnitude of threat this virus has against the elderly and sick, since there are many people that are considering this quarantine a vacation from school, work, and life. I believe that it is not a vacation and people need to be more aware and thoughtful of the ones that have paved a new world for them.
