My wife and I were sad to hear of Peter's passing. We worked together at Acme and he was definitely one of a kind. We lost our youngest son in 2014. We will never forget that Peter and Patricia drove all the way to Scituate to stand in a long line on a cold winter night to express their condolences. He was a special person.

Patricia and family

Even though you know it's coming it's still a shock. Peter holds a special place in my, and my family's heart. I grew up around both of you and I'm glad I did. Peter was a true friend, always the optimist when it came to people and family. I'll never forget the conversations and the questions about everything. I'll miss him big time.

I remember Peter as a smiling and warm person though I never worked for him. He was CFO in my co. and his job was very stressful but the stress never showed up on his face. All we saw was a smile, a hope and energy..May God bless his soul. We will miss you, Peter. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
