Not sure what to say?

I was saddened to learn of Peter´s passing. Peter and I spent years together as friends and classmates at Blessed Sacrament School on Colley. And I spent many afternoons in the role of first mate in Peter´s day sailer, as he taught me the basics of sailing, which he had already mastered before his 13th birthday. Among my most pleasant memories of sailing the Lafayette River with Peter were those several occasions where we stowed sleeping bags and sandwiches, and slept the night under the...

I am so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He was such a sweet little boy when I knew him. Still have my Brownie camera picture of Peter standing in my driveway, patiently posing for me. I have fond memories of playing with Nancy and Peter around the corner, and especially when we all joined with the McDonald's grandchildren who visited each August. And, I loved your dog, Benji (my family's adoptee) to pieces right to his last day. He was my little protector & lived about 5 more years...

Peter and I were best of friends in our early teenage years. He introduced me to the music of the Rolling Stones; and he taught me how to sail in the family´s O´Day Day Sailer, a 24´ open cockpit sailboat. We had many adventures and Larchmont was such a wonderful place to grow up. Rest in peace, Peter

I remember Peter very well. Went to Blessed Sacrament with him and I lived on Jamestown Crescent. One Halloween, long ago we all went trick or treating in Larchmont. Those were wonderful times. I believe he had bright red hair too. Sad to hear he passed. Hope we all will meet up in Heaven one day. Peter, we'll be right behind you.

I am so sad to see we have lost Peter. I have so many great memories of him. One of the best concerns a frigid mid-winter camping trip to Crabtree Falls where our camp site was attacked in the middle of the night by a troop of ravenous skunks! Peter, you will be missed by so many.
