Peter I loved you like a father. I will surely miss you. So many great memories like watching you play the drums and being influenced by that. The spray nosel from the garden hose, that was always missing to the rare disease you got in the Phillipeans. Pete I'm going to miss our visits when I come home. You will always be a big part of my heart and soul. I know you're in a better place and thanks for hanging around to 92. Rose, Doug and Judy you are family to me even though we are far apart, I love you all and you are in my prayers. I'll be buy next time I'm home.
God Bless,
Rick Dunn

Rosie, Judy and Doug,

I was so sorry to hear about Peter's passing. I will miss seeing him sitting outside enjoy the weather at all times of the year and my conversations with him. Peter was a friendly and kind man who I will truly miss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
