To brother Peter's family.
I did not have the opportunity to meet him but I had a chance to speak with him about 2 yeras ago. I had a great conversation with him about our family's tree. My father and brother Peter apparently were first cousins. During our conversation he was very warm and interested to know more about our family's background. I am sure he was a great man and I am glad I have spoken with him for about 45 minutes but this short time was unforgetable to me. I am sure he had a beautiful life. Bravo brother Peter.

Dear Family and Friends of Brother Peter,
I was a student at Bourgade HIgh School from 1968-1972. Brother
Peter's presence in the front office always extended an atmosphere of humor and hospitality. I have no doubt he is continuing the same ministry right now in his heavenly home.
Asking God to embrace each of you,

A wonderful Brother and spiritual model. Accepting, helpful, and funny. A pleasure to be around. I will miss his jokes and always happy disposition. The Brothers (FMS) in Brownsville will remember his soul in prayer, as well as his family and his Community of Fathers and Brothers. Brother Richard Sharpe, FMS
