Not sure what to say?

We still miss you down here on Peaks!! Please watch over Louise and make sure she does not work too hard on that danged bamboo!

It is nice to see this reminder of Peter. Peter you will be interested to know that there will be a tour of Brackett cemetery on Sept 12, I think I will try to sneak a little something in memory of Peter Sterling in there. Why not, I am sure you have Brackett blood in there somewhere. You think of us, and we'll think of you on that date.

Pete and I have had many interesting and enjoyable Ham Radio experiences over the years. Pete was always in good spirits and fun to be around. Our condolences to Louise. Marty Feeney and Robbie Lockard

A friend, a neighbor, a brother! May you find comfort in the Celestial Sky above. Your friendly smile, recognizable laugh, and gentleman demeanor made you a great person. May Louise and family find the strength to move forward, the courage to persevere, and comfort knowing how many lives he touched! He is a special person.

Our family sends condolences to the family. We met Peter on numerous occasions on Peaks when he and Louise were either coming or going, or when he stopped in to say hi to Judy at the cottage. He always seemed to be in a good mood and had a twinkle in his eye. Funny that upon last seeing him, I meant to ask him if he'd tell me son about HAM radio, how it worked and why it was important. I can see that Peter will be missed by those that knew him. I think he will also be missed by those...

Oh my sweet Peter, our paths have been connected more as a brother and sister for so many years. You and Louise are both two of the best people I've ever known. Our coffee chats, at your grandparent cottage (where I have been for the past several years), our sharing of pictures of family members passed, tears along with the laughs I will cherish forever. I still have the picture here in the cottage of Bently, my sister Wendy, you and me when we were four and five. You've all left me, but...

To The Sterling Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your Torrington Point Neighbors,
Maria Frexes and David Steed

From the Williams family: Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family Louise. My parents have a lot of memories with Peter from Elm St Church. He was a kind man and has gone too soon.
