I want to say, that if I can have some one like him to be my father or uncle it would be him. I always liked him, when he came by the pondoroso and most of all, he dream and wished big for everyone he talked with. I was looking forward to visit him again after knowing for so long, that he battled for his life. He was a good example for a man that worked for everything he wanted to achieve. He had class and he enjoyed his life, no matter if anyone disagreed. I wish that everyone stop trying to be perfect but instead love people for the joy of what makes them happy. He told me on the phone after my mom died, as I sat in a tiny chair to always be humble. This man made me cry after those words and he will always be family to me. Love you, Mr. Edward Peterson, Rip.
