Pete DuPre, affectionately known as “Harmonica Pete,” packed more into his 98 years than most could expect to experience in multiple lifetimes.

From serving as a medic in World War II to traveling the globe as an ambassador for the Greatest Generations Foundation, Mr. DuPre touched thousands with his soulful renditions of the national anthem and “America the Beautiful” on his harmonica.

He performed at funerals, schools, nursing homes, sporting events, memorials and parades and regularly reshared online.
