Peter always kept everyone entertained-- he was funny, feisty, and he could sing, too. Beyond that Peter had a genuinely kind heart. I'm so glad I knew him.

Peter was such a sweet and kind man. I have many memories of him helping out at a'Jack's" corner store on Sanchez and 29th Street, and many conversations about Elvis, his idol. He was always there to play with Jessica and Joey when they were young, he loved them a lot. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was very special.

I feel honored to have known and worked with Peter for the past few years. He was a wonderful storyteller, a born joker, and a great man. I know Elvis and Ritchie Valens will love him, too!
