Pepsi Cola Pete

Sorting through photo's and video tonight I came across these clips. It was on my heart to get a nice picture of Pepsi and there too was even talk of doing a documentary. It's really sad that I never took the chance. Everyone that grew up in Napanee and surrounding area knew Pepsi. I remember my parents picking him up when was a child. To be honest when they did I remember feeling scared, but growing up and giving him rides myself It did not take long to realized that Pepsi was one cool dude in my books. Sadly I regret not following my heart on this one, but had 3 shot's that I had taken for a B Roll during a video my wife and I were working on. Take care Pepsi, you were a legend and it was an honor to give you a lift when I could! You are a legend.

Gentle, quiet, harmless and an icon. RIP old friend. The town is not the same without you.

I was a visiting nurse for one of Pepsi's family, so I came to know him well. He was a gentle kind soul. I remember pulling over with my kids in the car and they would be screaming "no, don't pick him up", after they met him they would always say.....Hey there's Pepsi..pick him up!! You only had to talk to him once to realize what a sweet fella he was. RIP Pepsi..travelling along 41 highway won't be the same without you! He was too humble to realize what a legend he really was. Great video!
