Not sure what to say?

May he rest in peace and may his memory be eternal. Alfredo Flores

Peter was a genuine "good guy". He was a friend of mine in high school and was a valuable member of the wrestling team. I will miss this fine individual immensely, and I truly hope that Pete will find happiness and fulfillment in Eternity. Rest in Peace Forever, My Friend!!! May you find true fulfillment in Heaven with God.

I truly apologize for this very late note. I just discovered this site. I met Pete in Bolivia in the early 70s. We struck up an unlikely friendship he was a peace corps volunteer -I too was a volunteer - in the marine corps working at the US Embassy La Paz.. I visited him in Los Yungas Bolivia where he ran a dairy co-op. Later we traveled to Rio for carnival. He was a great friend. Alfredo.

Pete was a true friend to me in our high school years. We also worked on summer road construction together after high school. I came to appreciate his sincerity and honesty. We only touched base at class reunions after the 1960's but my appreciation of this man continued. His soul is in a good place now!

Peter was a unique and truly good man, God will welcome him into his fold.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. May the "God of all comfort" support you and your family during this difficult time. (2 Cor. 1:3)

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you find comfort knowing that those who die, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes.
- Psalm 116:15

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Peter, but grateful for his service to our nation with the Peace Corps in Bolivia and El Salvador.

Our Condolences,
The National Peace Corps Association
