So sorry to hear that Peter passed away after 4 years of retiring. I worked myself at Somerville Hospital for 38 years and retired and moved to South Carolina. He was a great guy and maintenance worker who was always smiling and truly loved his job. My heavenly husband was also born on October 31st. Two great guys and also a huge sports fan just not basketball. My condolences to you and the family.
