Pedro was the man, the myth, and the legend within our friend group. He was the one you went to when you needed to get something done. If you were going camping, he'd bring all the gear and make you coffee in the morning, freshly ground and one cup at a time over the course of two hours. If you needed help with something, wanted to record some music, film something, go for a hike, fix something, anything, he'd be over within the hour with a six pack of beers. We joked that he was our fifth roomate in Winter Park Florida where we went to school together, and at our apartment in Brooklyn because he was always there. We actually thought he had an apartment in Brooklyn, but as we were thinking back, realized he was just driving over from Jersey those two years. Pedro showed me Saturn's rings through a telescope on the rooftop of our place. He made it out to my birthday party in Queens the week before covid hit, played 'Charlie Chambers' in a murder mystery themed party, and talked on our couch for hours with Kristina and I until 3 or 4 in the morning after everyone had left. The dude was an amazing guy to hang out with, he had such an amazing energy, and was one of the best and most genuine friends I've ever had. I will miss you so much Pedro.
