Peter was a youngster at the New London Post Office when I first met him and his other school friends, some who stayed and made a career in the PO. My memories of Peter are happy and pleasant as he a tremendous sense of humor and he gave as good as he got from the oldsters such as myself. I would run into Peter from time to time as his sons were the same age as my youngest as they were involved in high school sports also. I offer my sincerest condolences to the family and Peter will forever...

Peter, your patience shined through as you untangled the birds nests of 5 kids during our opening day pancake breakfasts and fishing expeditions. Always in our hearts.

I worked with Pete at New London PO, when I first started in the mid 1970's. He made a new hire feel right at home! He was very funny and an all around happy person. God Bless.

Pete I enjoyed knowing you even Briefly! It was so kind of you to bring the article of tThe Mischevious Carrot and a wonderful reminder of our years with minimal responsibility. I am sorry your last couple of years were spent trying to regain your health, I can only hope your Spirit is now in a weightless realm where you only have Joy!
