Dear Janet, haven't spoke for awhile but wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. Growing up I admired your dad so much, he gave many Greeks the belief we could do alot more with what was given us. Pete Calomeris DDS

Peter,
We were fortunate to have the opportunity to meet with you and your family for a short time. It was wonderful to talk with another 1st Generation Greek, son of an immigrant, and discuss the paths we took in our lives. The hospitality of your home and family was greatly appreciated.
Go with God and his blessed embrace.
Until we meet again,

Aunt Pauline, Connie, Janet and George Peter,
I am so sorry for your loss--Uncle Pete was larger than life, a quick, funny charismatic generous and faithful man that always shot from the hip and lived life with great joy. Know that his presence at the important and highpoints in our lives brought great comfort and joy to all of us, especially after losing my grandfather--both brothers shared the same sense of humor, love of family and mischeivious twinkle in their eyes. I hope the joyous memories of him you treasure most can somehow lighten this great loss. Zoe se sas.
All my love and sympathy,

Connie, Alan, Jonathan and Alex,
We are so sorry for your loss. He was an amazing man. He enjoyed life and he made everyone he was with enjoy life more. Just being around him for a few minutes could make you realize that life was fun and you should live it to the fullest. He always made it clear how much he loved his family and how proud he was of all of you. We feel privileged to have known him. Please know you are in our thoughts. - The Leonards
