I am just looking at one of his beautiful mallard duck pictures and looked on the internet to see where he was. Saw his obituary and wish to convey to family how much we have enjoyed his prints of 1951. How lucky you were to have such a talented father. Dolores McCalla/ St. Paul

Dear Rachel,

We were so deeply saddened to hear of Peter's passing. We are so very sorry. You have our very deepest sympathy.

Words can not express the loss you are feeling right now . Jason and Jaelyn and I were so honored to meet Peter last year at Holiday. to be able to sit with him, talking golf, art and our lives. How wonderful of a man he was with a kind and gentle heart. I am so happy we had a chance to meet him, and share a day in his life. How amazing that you have had many of those days. Cherish them always- as we know you will.

If there is anything we can do to help you at this time, please feel free to call on us. I will be praying for you and your family.

Blessings,

Shannon

I had the pleasure of meeting Peter through his daughter, Marilyn, upon several occasions. He was a gentleman, an artist, a sportsman, an adventurer, a musician, a philosopher, and a MAN amongst all the other things that will be attributed to him. I never thought he would pass away because his spirit was almost eternal....his attitude and his outlook...and his enthusiasm. What a guy!!!
