I enjoyed Peter and Marie as friends -- not close, but always a pleasure to connect with for 50 years And I especially enjoyed the times when Peter and I got to work together as carpenters. Peter got his hand in a little bit when I was running the crew that built The Ark. He always did excellent work, of course. He will be missed.

Peter was a man who carried a huge heart with him everywhere he traveled. He was attentive, observant, inquisitive and extremely kind and empathetic. His talent is well known among his community of friends and clients. But his heart was with his love of life Marie, his daughter Lisa and all their friends and family. We miss Peter very much and have been inspired by his spirit and creativity. He lives in our hearts.
