I am very saddened by Peter's passing--and I wish all of his friends and family sincere Condonlensces. Although I have not seen peter in a very long time he is someone i remember very well from Old Bridge days and then after college for a bit. I always remember him being very friendly and a very good person. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. Scott Schwadron
