Peter Joseph Chaves

I cared so very much for Peter-time and the challenges of life and ambitions drew us apart. Peter was an amazing person and so connected to life and living. Seeing his passing was a hurtful reminder of how time becomes so precious; I wish I had taken so many beautiful pictures of such a beautiful person. Much love to his beloved family-truly a blessing.

Dear dear Peter, can not say my grief every time I think about you which is often! You had the sweetest smile and the kindest heart my friend! Every time I hear this song 'Sh-Boom'it reminds me of you singing it! You're always in my heart. Till we meet again

To the Chaves family,
Since I don't live in the States, unbelievably I heard of Peter and Artie's passing away just last night. I can not express how I feel. Such a terrible loss. I never forget Peter's lovely smile and how he used to call me Miss Mina because I had studied in a finishing school in England and of my British accent when we first met at Annhurst Collage. Artie was the logical one in our circle of friends. Never did anything wrong. I remember how we all drove up to Windsor...

Peter, I just want you to know that I have not forgotten you as we were good study buddies while going to school and think of you often. Be at peace.

You are never forgotten.. and always remembered.. jc

Well Pete, it's been 3 years since you've left us and I still think of you and the great times we had often. At night sometimes I tell my daughter (who I believe was a gift from you) stories about my friend Peter "The Angel". Now she asks me to tell her the story of Pete. Please watch over me and my family. Still miss you very much.

Peter,

You give me so much to take with me. I will try my best like you did. You always had so much to give and only wanted the smile and appreciation of being yourself. You never asked or expected anything but love and smiles. You are still so much missed here on earth and I think of you often and think of you smiling now in heaven. You and Janet and so many more are welcoming Auntie Vee, I will keep you all so close in heart and I am thankful for you all watching over me. I...

Just thinking of you Pete as summer comes upon us once again. The pool is open!

With deepest sympathies to Peter's family and friends I write grateful for how Peter touched our lives with his love and saddened by the void our Lord has left us with Peter's passing. May we emulate Peter's genuine kindness to honor the wonderful person he was. I will miss Peter.
