Dear Catherine and family:
We are so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He surely will be missed around Humarock. Peter provided a lot of laughs for my husband, Joe and me when Peter would be helping Joe with renovations and landscaping. Peter would yell and swear at Joe because Joe was always in Peter's way and didn't follow Peter's instructions to the letter! Peter was a great guy. To say he was a passionate person is putting it mildly!
Sincerely,

Sam Crawford

dear Catherine & Christine
my thoughts are with you today and I too will miss PeeTa dearly. To say Peter was a friend meant great things to me and I will forever have fond memories of pressure washers, disk brakes and trips up the river. I hope that your smiles return soon - for this is what he loved the most. your friend - dale
