Dear Matt - The David family, formerly of Welland extends sincere condolences on the loss of your brother, Peter. He was a real gentleman to us. I recall how my sweet mother, the late Anna and I LOVED getting our hair done in your friendly, forward-thinking salon. I was SO excited to be the recipient of the 'Sassoon Cut' - so stylish, so asymmetrical, so "in"! You were deeply missed when you left Welland and hope you found great happiness and fulfillment in your life. Feel free to email me - I'd love to hear from you. May Peter's soul rest in peace. Fondly, Frances (francesshifman@gmail.com)

To; Tracy, Andew, Todd, Chris :

Please accept our sincere condolence for your loss.

We bought our first camera from Peter on our wedding day, August 21 1971. Peter also gave us a wedding discount. My wife and I never forgot that.
Peter was a gentleman.

Matt, Henry and families; sincerest condolences. Used to call in to Peter's place when back in Canada and ask how he was doing and how all of you were? So sorry to read about his obit tonight. Always a gentleman. Many good memories!! Back in Welland and trying to catch stories on old acquaintances and find out where they all landed; at the 'coffee klatch', Kauffman name has come up and we all knew one or more.
Thoughts and prayers with you all,
