Dotty,

I am so saddened to hear of Peter's passing from this life on earth. Peter was an extraordinary man. He was a friend to all that he met. His warm smile and gentle ways were an example of his kind spirit. It was my extreme honor to have worked for him and with you. I know that Pete is now walking with the angels (as he was an angel here on earth). May God comfort you at this sad time. You will remain in the prayers of myself and my husband.

Mrs. Zikos,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the falling asleep of your husband. He will truly be missed in the hearts of all who new him. Working at the Metropolis, I got to know your husband and I will truly miss seeing his smiling face at work.
It is amazing how dedicated your husband was in the Church. He is a man to be a role model for the younger generations of Orthodox Christians. And through the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your husband, the servant of God, Peter will lie in eternal rest in the arms of the Creator of all.

Our hearts are so heavy today. Pete was a cousin, but more like an older brother to all. The word kind was meant to describe his heart and his life. Dorothy's loss cannot be measured and we love her as he loved her. May his memory be eternal.

As a young underwriter starting out in the insurance industry 35 years ago Pete was always there with a big smile and a helping hand. He was a kind and generous man to his family, his church and his community. I will always remember the times he would pile a bunch of the Aetna folks in a car and take us to the Greek Food Festival. Dorothy, my sympathy to you and your family. May God comfort you at this time. I wish I could be there to pay my respects in person.
