To all of Peter's relatives and friends, many of you whom I have met many years ago, I express sorrow for the loss of "my friend, "Bergs", who i'll never forget. Pete was a happy, witty, driven young man during his youth in high school, where Peter was one of "the guys from BM" forever trapped in our generational times and places. I met him when he was quite young, around the age of around 15, when he played Bass guitar for a" Zappa-esque; joe's garage" band in other neighborhood friends basement. We were definitely friends from that moment on, sharing viewpoints on life and the future, often engaging in great conversations while riding the bus to downtown. or over a few pints at the odd time when we were both in the same vicinity. I lost touch with Peter for many years, and think the last time I saw him was at a "Christmas get together of " of "all the young dudes", who aren't so young anymore.
Peter, may you safely navigate through any "Bergs" on your journey to Valhalla, and to that end, information in the universe is not lost, nor are you, my friend. See you on the other side! your buddy chuck

I have no idea where to begin, I was Peter's production coordinator, his friend, his guard, his installer. Peter was tough, but fair. Peter loved his children as much as any man I have ever known, could be ruthless in business - but a champion negotiator. One tireless worker to be certain, you could never scare or intimidate this man ever. Built a company from nothing and made it known the globe over - impressive individual and great soft-ball player (Peter was my short-stop). We had many great times, caddy parties were legendary. Rest in peace my friend.

Peter was the best neighbor to us during our years on Rancho Road in Rancho Mirage. He was always ready with a broad smile and a warm hug. We appreciated his encouragement on whatever we were doing in our lives and enjoyed seeing his dedication to his children and their pursuits.

Losing Peter is a tremendous loss to all that knew him/loved him. He was a loving, fiercely devoted father, a friend, a smart business man, and in general, a great guy. His sense of humor was just another of his wonderful attributes.
He is missed. Condolences to his family. Iris Finsilver
