Not sure what to say?

I'm sorry to read of your loss. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that Peter is resting in peace. Ecclesiastes 9:5

My condolences for the passing of both of your parents. Although it has been several years and I am not sure if you remember me, but you are in my prayers. Have always wondered if you kept up with your music. (Playing the sax, and blizzard of 79 in Madison WI???)

Great memories of 2 young, budding guitarists often riding bikes from Loves Park to Charles street to visit True Tone Music for picks and strings and anything we needed. Peter was always very helpful and informative. Great to see he lived a long life. Rest in peace! Prayers for the family

Hi Brad. I wanted to call you but found no number. Sorry to hear about my old buddy. We go back to the 1st. grade at Turner school. We were the best of friends growing up and played a lot of baseball and football. We never had a fight. I am in fla. and will not make it to the funeral. I will never forget him.
