Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
There are not enought words to express what I'm feeling, hearing of the loss of such a good friend.
I will truly miss his kindness and generosity he showed to everyone in my family.
He was there for good times and bad times and always pulled us through.
I was blessed and honored to have known such a wonderful man.
You and Russ behave yourselves!
God Bless you Dr. Pete

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dr. Peterson was a very kind man. I still remember when he invited us out on his boat. It was my first time to be on a ski boat. He made it a wonderful experience that has stayed with me for 40 years.
God Bless you Dr. Peterson.

Love and prayers to your family,
