Trying to trace relatives in America. Lisa Finnegan Dublin Ireland..

I have known Peter since 1963. I had never before nor ever again met anyone like him. He was a larger than life, funny, outrageous and wonderful man. I loved Peter, Sally, Natalie and those fabulous children- Allison and Stephen. He is unforgettable. I am so very sad. My husband and I were in Ireland last week and it was the perfect country in which to celebrate his life

Oh my goodness! I heard the news this morning and am still processing the fact that Pete is not with us anymore! I sat next to Pete in Kindergarten and he was my first boyfriend! You never forget your first! We were friends and neighbors.we laughed and cried together! We were separated geographically but when we saw each other whether in San Francisco or in Washington DC, it was as if we had just seen each other the day before. He was some kind of special -that Peter Finnegan. He was the...

Peter was one of a kind. I have tremendously good memories of him as a boisterous, funny, and fiercely opinionated man who lived with a zest for life and absolute dedication to his children and family. Love to Stephen, Allison, Natalie, Joanna and Jenny during this hard time.

I had the privilege of working as a board member with Peter on the Alcoholic Beverage Appeals Board. His brilliant mind and compassionate heart were always obvious. A "Wonderful Irishman" My prayers will remember him.

Although I only knew Peter when we were both very young, I have fond memories of him being gentle and sweet. He only knew me as "Chichibu".
Reading of his life's work, I can see that he contributed greatly to everyone he touched. Sending love to his family.

I had the privilege of working for Peter at the Concordia-Argonaut. He was truly a warm energetic man who would light up any room with his laughter and inspiring personality. His knowledge of politics and San Francisco always made him an exciting person to sit down with over dinner and drinks. The pride and love he held for his family were always a big part of any conversation with Peter.

San Francisco will miss Peter Finnegan.

My prayers are with his family.
