Not sure what to say?

I worked with Peter in the mid 1990s in Burlington, Vt . He was my boss for a couple years at Crawford and Co. I really never knew a more down to earth guy in my life. When my Company Car broke down a day before I was scheduled to drive to So. Carolina on vacation, he personally went to the dealer explained the situation and had the car fixed so I could go on vacation . In fact I had called him at home the evening when car was damaged ( hinges bent on front drivers door) Laura answered phone...

I worked with Peter for Ace in claims, and he was my supervisor for a short time. He was always knowledgeable and helpful and I respected him so much. I was sad to hear of his sickness and of his passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Sincerely, Dianne Hawley

My sympathies to Peter´s family. He was kind and funny, making the workplace enjoyable. Peter took pride in the company we worked for and was an ethical and caring person. I´m saddened by his passing, I am glad to have known him.

Peter, a beautiful, brilliant and kind man that I only knew for a short time. But he made a big impression, and I dare say, he did that everywhere he went. With his precious wife, Lolly, I always felt welcomed. I´m going to miss this funny, endearing family man ... his whit and smile and kindness. I send my deepest sympathies and condolences to his beautiful wife and family. I wish for you to find peace in the months and years to come. I send you my heart Bevo-

Laura and family, So sorry for your loss. Peter was always a loyal person and funny guy and was said very very energetic. I enjoyed getting him fired up in politics just to listen to him come at me with his facts. I am glad he enjoyed his family the past few years as the world was a better place with him in it. He always talked about how proud he was of all of you whenever I was around him. I know he always will be.

Peter was the most welcoming , kind, considerate, inclusive and all around wonderful friend. Each time John and I would see him, he would light up with his beautiful smile and always reaching out his hand and a hug. He was always such a ray of sunshine and the inconspicuous life of the party.
