Read MoreTo Mary and family and cousin Micky, so sad to hear of cousin Peter’s passing. A great guy gone too soon. I will always remember visiting with him and Micky at his Mom’s house when we were kids. May his soul rest in peace. May his memory be eternal, and a comfort to his family now and forever.
