Richard Gottmeier

I had worked with Peter at GF Office Furniture in East Hartford and became the district manager for CT while Peter worked in NYC. I dearly hold many memories of Peter and I working together. He was totally unique with his broad smile and hearty laugh. He had an ability to charm customers away from their furniture problems. When we travelled together, all Peter wanted to know was "who do we have to see" and "where are we taking them to lunch?"

Papa will always remain in my heart. He was a kind and jolly man, who I was always so very happy to see. When we would come and visit in the summers, I would love to hear his stories (the stories about my dad that my dad won't tell himself).

Dear Holly,
I could not believe that Richard had passed away. I know that your family is so supportive of one another, and will ease each other during this dark and sad time. Eventually things will get better for all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Linda and I miss you.

Holly and Family,

I was one of the lucky ones; I got to work with Pete for over 30 years, first with GF then Miller and then OFI. Peter was a leader and the best one I know. He was also a strong customer advocate and was always fair and just. Many respect him, admire him and love him and no one will ever forget his infectious booming laugh. It was an honor...

Dear Holly and Family- We were so saddened to learn of Richard's passing.
Yoyu have our deepest condolences. He was truly a very special man and I will always remember him. Our prayers are with you. Pam and Ed Odice (Magic Machine Newtown)

My wife and I worked with Peter many years ago as he started his career in office furniture at GF Office Furniture. We remember him as a kind and caring person. We offer our prayers and the peace and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to Peter and his family .
