We were blessed to have had him in our lives. He was a good big brother and he had a way of letting you know he cared without words. He was a quiet, gentle and comforting presence when he was around. I always described him as a wise and gentle old soul. He had a look in his eyes that made you think he knew far more than the rest of us and it gave me peace some how.

My Uncle Peter. He was such an amazing person. He was my father's best friend.

Being the youngest of a large extended family, Peter the oldest, He seemed like a giant to me. Strong, mysteriously quiet, seemingly always observing, might be a bit intimidating to someone so much younger. But thats never how I felt. There was a certain warmth that would emanate from him, a special softness in his eyes, that always made me feel safe and loved in his presence. I will never forget!
