My deepest condolences to Nina and the girls. Peter was one of the first friends I made when I opened my shop in Watchung Plaza. He would pop his head in while running an errand just to say hello and to see how things were going. We would chat for a bit about the condition of the world, Peter would manage to tease me about something, and then he was gone in a flash. I will miss him. Rest in peace
