I first meet Peter at Euro Motorcars in Bethesda, MD. At that dealership I was employed as a salesman. Previous to this position I had been employed at several Maryland dealerships and familiar with their service departments and their managers. Peter's capabilities became very apparent that he was the right person for the job. He had superior qualities that other managers lacked and I admired him for this. Over time I respected these attributes and felt fortunate not only to work with him but also considered him a friend. I recently was informed by Charlie Harmel of his passing. Immediately I felt great loss. My sincerest regrets to Maureen and the family.
