Not sure what to say?

I still smile when I see Peter's photo. Bless his soul; he always made me laugh!

Oh man, I miss this guy. I am likely the last person he shared a pizza with at Mackenzie River in Kalispell, Montana prior to his departure for home. Just like we always did, with kidded with each other, smiled and laughed, told old war stories and lies and schemed for our futures as weathered and wise gentlemen. Neither Peter or I have lots of friends now but we picked up with each other whenever he visited the Flathead Valley like it was yesterday. Peter was one of my all-time favorite...

Peter and I did not have too many very close friends. I am honored to have been one of his. Filled with complete sadness by this accident.

So sorry for your loss. We were in a long line of cars after the accident/wreck occurred that Friday. We saw a BMW go by on a wrecker and we later saw a Class C Winnebago on another wrecker. I prayed for them then. Just now seeing details about the wreck. Again, so sorry. Peter and I had a lot in common as my father was a Tennis Pro and I also earned a doctorate to work with college kids. God bless you all.

I met Peter at EWU when Brian Levin-Stankevich (my boss at the time) was provost, and Peter was involved with the student athletes and the hockey team. I always enjoyed Peter's wit: he was a quiet one but always very funny. This world is a poorer place without him. Sending sympathy to Peter's family and friends!
