Sending thoughts and prayers for you and your loved ones on the anniversary of your passing, Peter. May you be in heaven smiling down upon us.

A year has already passed since your passing. I remember you as a young teenager in high school; and that is how I envision you today. Going forward, we have changed and our accomplishments have been many such as so many of our friends and fellow students. Wouldnt it be great if we could all get together and share where life has ttaken us all. I will always remember you, dear Peter, especially on this day. May God bless.

Peter was a friend to my wife Gloria and I. Peter was a caring person and always talked with us at the Eagles Club and he loved our German Shepherd. He left us to soon and unexpectedly. May he rest in peace as he meets with his Dad in a more peaceful place.

My sincere condolences to the Campbell family on the passing of Peter. He was a dear friend throughout high school at Sacred Heart. We maintained periodic contact through the years via emails. He always had a ready smile or joke to keep me laughing. He will be in our prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. We would come across each other several times a year and always have a friendly, enjoyable and heartfelt conversation. My sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

Thinking of you all and sending you strength in this time of sorrow.

Peter's passing is like losing a part of Newport's history. May you all find comfort in fond memories Cheryl Davio
