Pete was born October 6, 1934, in Ainsworth, Iowa to Albert and Thelma Nunnally.

Pete enjoyed traveling to Iowa to visit with family and friends, watching college football and basketball, especially FSU and the Iowa Hawkeyes, and a good home cooked meal. He loved to tell stories, some truer than others, and holding court amongst friends and strangers alike. He was fiercely proud of his children, Patrick and Jennifer. Pete was never short on opinions or love for his family. He will be missed.
Pete was preceded in death by his wife, Anne, and his parents.
Left to cherish his memory is his son Patrick (Angela) of Pensacola, FL; his daughter, Jennifer Nunnally of Pensacola, FL; and his brother Jim Nunnally (Peggy), Iowa City, IA.
