I remember meeting Pete when I was house hunting in ABQ back in 1993. I was impressed with the houses he was building, so plunked down my money and have been here ever since, one of the original owners. I was sorry to learn of his passing, and my condolences go out to his family.

Deepest condolences to the Cogen family. Peter and I were good friends growing up. I got to see him at our 50th reunion last year which was wonderful. Our thoughts and prayers are with Fran and her family at this difficult time.

My name is Donita Ransom now, Haywood then, and I worked the front desk for you for many years. I just wanted to let you know that Pete truly changed my life in all that he taught me and the kindness he always showed. I am sorry to hear of his passing and I wanted to let you know that he will truly be missed. He was a wonderful, caring man.
