I just received this message today. In the past I sent my condolences to the family. In addition I have reached out to Maureen many times to talk but to no avail. This saddens me greatly but with hopes that I do have the chance to share my feelings and emotions on the loss of Peter.

Previous to today I submitted my feelings about Peter. Those were great times and we all had a feeling w family. For some time I have attempted to contact Maureen with no success. This is still saddening. Please let her know that I feel her loss and miss her friendship.

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.
