Please know my sorrow over Peter's death. I did not know him for very long, but worked with him on antique quilt restoration and considered him my friend. He was a wonderful man and I had a great deal of respect for his knowledge. He will be truly missed and my prayers are with his family.

My heart has been touched with sadness by hearing of "Pete's" passing on. Please understand,Peter was my next door neighbor for many, many years...and one of my "Buddies"..There were times when he was my very best friend. Years have passed and time.. goes by so quickly...so, we lost our connection..Many times I would think of him and wonder how he was, now he has moved to a place where we may meet again. Who knows, maybe we will be neighbors..it would be a Blessing! My Love, Thoughts and Prayers go to Sally, John and Jim.

We were so shocked to learn that Peter had died and send our sincerest condolences to his family. We shared a love of antiques and often found ourselves doing the same shows in the Rochester area. Not only did he have a great eye for antiques, but he had the ability to keep his customers coming back through his honestly, kindness and good nature. We have truly lost a treasure.
