He also loved metal detecting and rebuilding anything he could get his hands on. Pete and Sherry served as foster parents from 1988 to 2012. Together with Theresa, they were affectionately known as the \"Three Musketeers\" due to their close bond and shared commitment. Pete was also a devoted member of the Church of God of Prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to his loving wife of 52 years, Sherry, survivors include his sons, Jeremy (Celest Dunbar) Teems, Travis (Amber) Teems, and Gabe (Misty) Teems; daughter, Heather Teems; grandsons, Cameron Teems, Latham Teems, Kohen Teems, William O.
