Read MorePete had a great influence on my life. A book he gave me in 1958 still sits on my shelf. His enthusiasm for Russian history sparked a lifelong love of Russian literature and culture.

Peter had a profound impact on the youth of Rome NY and inparticular those of us that he taught and mentored at St. Mary's school. Words can't express what he meant to so very, very many of us. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered as truly one of a kind.
