Pete will be sorely missed by his family and the RYC family which he was so much a part of. He was one of the first members to welcome me to RYC when I joined in 1976. He was always friendly, quick to give help and advice and eager to make you feel at home. his presence made our corner of the planet a better place to live.

I was sorry to hear about Peter's passing. For me Peter was a best example of what it meant to be a member of Raritan Yacht Club; always friendly, always helpful. I'm sure he will be missed by his family and the larger RYC community.

Pete was a landmark in the club I know. It was never the same with his presence and it won't be the same now. Deepest condolences to the entire family on the loss of a person who could be bigger than life one minute and pleasant dinner company the next. He was a rare, respected, and warm person with high ambitions, high achievements, and a down to earth essence. God bless him.
