Dear Ann, Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are so glad that we had the opportunity to meet you and Pete at The Laurels - room 232. Pete was a creative, gentle man.

Dear Ann, family and friends,
I am so sorry for your loss and that I've just found out about Peter's passing this morning. A few days ago, I was going through my treasure trove of special gifts and notes from friends I've made through my music. I came across a poem that Peter wrote for me during one of my gigs,,, "Dulcimer Lady" he called it... what a gift he was and what a wonderful expression of appreciation he gave to me. And this for you Ann... from and email I got dated January 12,...

Peter was a wonderful man. We are glad we got to hear him speak his poetry at First Friday. We will miss him. Thoughts and prayers go out to Pete's family.

Peter was a kind and a likeable person.. Even though he was ill he always tried to have a smile on his face. He was a great neighbor and friend. Peter will be missed by everyone that knew him. He is in a better place now. No more pain, no more wheel chair, just peace. Donna Wuchnick

Ann,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. Florence Orzak

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

my condolences to the family.. my only regret is not having the opportunity to meet him personally.. although i feel as though i know him through the stories his daughter has told. may he live on in the hearts of those he touched, including my own, in which he has touched trough the traits he has passed on to his daughter. <3 sending love to all<3 ~ laura

Peter's poems will continue to bring his gentle and generous to mind. Blessings for your family
