I was very sad to learn of the sudden passing of Peter. I had the pleasure of getting to know Peter when he used to shop at my uncles Italian store where I worked for many years. I remember Peter often wearing his winter vests, with his white dress shirt sleeves rolled up, and always having a smile on his face. I especially remember the times when he used to bring his brother in with him - they were like 2 school boys and it always made me chuckle seeing them together. My sincerest condolences to the family and to all that loved Peter. He touched many lives !!

I'm so sad to hear this... Your father was a wonderful friend to us when we lived in the West End. He was always available to help with our computer issues and then stay to talk and tell stories. When I started working with Afghan refugees he would give them computers that he had rebuilt. The last time I saw him he was sitting cross-legged on the floor of a refugee's home helping and comforting them. He will be dearly missed.

And when I sing Amazing Grace, your face is what I see. I hope someday that kind of grace will find it's way to me.

I was saddened to hear of Peter's passing. I was at Lehigh University in the late 80's early 90's and have known Peter since then. I always looked forward to seeing him and catching up when I visited campus. My deepest sympathies to his family.

It was such a gift to have Peter come into my life!
He always possessed a glimmer of joy in his eyes even before he greeted you with that wonderful Irish embrace and told you how glad he was to see you! That just always made my day!
I always respected his openness and willingness to share his thoughts and desires to make a difference in the lives of those around him as well as in the world and he wasn't afradi to dream the impossible. To Peter, nothing was impossible with God at his side. That, was the hallmark of Peter! The intergration of God into his life!
Though he left too soon, as I had still much to learn from him. Still, I do treasure the invaluable lessons he taught me on walking with God.
Bash in the Eternal Day, Peter!
God bless
