I grew up in Towson and my father, John Wallace, worked with Peter's Dad for a while but Peter and I met through mutual friends when I was in college. I will always remember Peter's delightful love of life, creativity and amazing kindness and generosity to those less fortunate. He loved animals and loved to laugh with his friends. He made a beautiful gown for me for my Mater's recital. I was so grateful for his talent. I am very sad to learn of his passing. He was a very unique person. My deepest sympathy to his family.
