Candy and Bailey-
We have many fond memories of Peter, mostly at Pine Point... at every event, on the sidelines of every athletic event and especially proud of Bailey's theatrical performance in Bye Bye Birdie... your words have honored every part of him and we will all miss him.

Too much to bear. Our entire family, three generations, appreciated the smile, joy, energy and love of Peter Briggs. We think of Candy and Baily especially now, and thank you all for connecting with our family in so many ways and for so long. We send our sincere condolences for your loss. Much love, Eleanor Perkins Robinson and family

What a beautifully written obituary. I did not know Peter, but now, I feel as though I do. To his family, especially his sister Patty, a dear friend, please accept my sincere condolences. I will be thinking of you all, and of course Peter, on Saturday.
