Read MorePete was my classmate at St. Thomas. He and I were usually the first to arrive as he helped his dad in the mornings and I had a paper route that finished up a few blocks from Pine Street. We´d go in to the building early and on some days, the custodian would give us coffee in the "boiler room" - making us feel like grown ups. I am so very sorry to recently hear this hard news.

I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your son Peter. I do not doubt that his death is very hard for you and Glen. It is difficult to lose a child no matter his age. Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and heart.

My best friend Stefanie was Peter's fiance. Peter died in his home in Chicopee, he died of a sudden heart attack in the arms of the woman that was the love of his life. Peter fought stage 4 gallbladder cancer for the past seventeen months. He and Stefanie fought this beast together. He endured months of chemotherapy and radiation with only Stefanie at his side the entire time. God bless you Peter, you will be missed. May you rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Peter's death. Hard to believe he's gone, but I will remember all the good times growing up as kids and being dressed alike as toddlers. Blessings and prayers to all his family and friends.
