Read MoreI came to know Peter through social gatherings and our men's breakfast group. We had a common love for model trains and craftmanship. He was a great friend that I respected for his intelligence, directness and his character. To his gracious wife Ruth and his children I extend both Gloria's and my deepest sympathy and condolences. I will miss you my friend, rest in peace.

Like so many, I came to know Peter through our business connection. He was a very professional individual who was forthright and expected the same from others. While his directness was occasionally disarming, beneath it he was a very affiable person , one I came to enjoy and appreciate. He and his family became members of the church my family attended and our friendship deepened. To each of his family I extend my sympathy and condolences. He was a good man and will be missed by many.
