Peter Riga

Rest In Peace Dear Peter. It was 39 years ago that you performed the ceremony that united Karl and me in San Pablo, Ca. We always considered you our buddy.

Peter married my ex-wife and I in a simple ceremony on the rocks at Kemah in 1990. A good man.

THANK YOU PROFESSOR FOR TEACHING ME THE LAW AND MANY OF THE LESSONS OF LIFE. YOUR DEVOTED STUDENT, CRAIG DANIELL, COL(R) USA
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance[a] upon you and give you peace. AMEN

We will miss you at daily Mass, dear Peter. Thank you for leading us in song, with your beautiful and powerful voice. Your bench in the chapel was your special place. May God give you peace, dear friend.

Peter was our attorney for the adoption of our second adopted son, Phocion III. He charged us a very modest sum, and said he enjoyed doing adoptions. He rode with us to the court that June day in 1990. We are very thankful for his service. May he see the face of God and be rewarded for his service.

He taught us the meaning of contracts and more importantly--- the ethics of a promise. Contract as Promise. I will always remember him and cherish the lessons he taught us. God Bless Professor Riga.

A true scholar who taught me about Sir Thomas More in law school in the early 1980s.God bless you all.He influenced many practicing attorneys in a positive way.He will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry to hear this and wish I could be at the funeral. He is a real hero and was recently offered (as an upgrade) the silver star for his heroism in Vietnam as a Chaplain when he saved a man's life. It is no coincidence that he died on Holy Thursday the day that the priesthood was instituted. He loved the priesthood. He died faithful to God going to Mass everyday and strong in his opinions of patriotism and his love for the Church and Christ and theology most of all. My prayers and...
