I am sorry to hear that Peter has died; he touched so many of us in so many ways - he will be missed by many.

We were students together at MHS; he was an excellent student and a great friend. We were reunited to work together about ten years ago - it was wonderful to rediscover an old friend. It was a privilege to work with Pete; he was the "Dean" of radio and telecommunications consultants in New England. He always took time to share his knowledge and experinece with the rest of us; he was a great working partner and a great friend.

I will especially miss our lunches at the Valley Diner; the chances to catch up on the past and contemplate the future.

May God Bless you Peter; I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies to your family. Pete and I worked together for several years at the Fairfield Public Schools. He was always kind, funny and patient while teaching me what I needed to know about how to handle our telephone moves, adds and/or changes in our district. I will always remember him.
