Fran and Family,
I am personally very sad and so sympathetic to you all for Peter's passing. My heart goes out to you. Losing Peter is like losing an elemental force like fire or water. His presence was that strong.

I have spent many a Friday night with Peter. Every night he would walk in with a smile on his face and some wisdom to share. Peter was a very unique person with an awesome personality. He always made me think about the world I live in and how to navigate through my life. I want to offer my deepest condolences to his family, and especially to his dear wife "Frannie Babe". Peter was an awesome person and he will be greatly missed!
Thank You Peter for all the wonderful laughs and good...
