Dear Peter, I am sure God had reserved a very nice place in his heavenly garden for you for all the good you did for your family, friends and community at large. You leave back many memories of our time at BOC and I still treasure the dream research lab I wanted to build. I did not know your family, but looks like you had a lovely family that you richly deserved. God will take care of them while you are resting up there. Roy Manns
