Peter was a great guy. We lived in the same neighborhood, went all through school together. Very polite, very handsome. It was a pleasure to know him. My prayers go out to your family.

Pete andI played little league in Wellesley in the early 50's. We played for the Braves. My mother and Mrs Nanini would sit together at all our games. I lost track of Pete after high school. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Peter and I became friends when we were both drafted by the Braves in the Wellesley Little League in 1952. We weren't that great since most of the team was made up of 10 year olds. But we had a good time and that continued throughout our time on the Wellesley High Baseball team. Peter was always upbeat and was a big factor in helping us become a pretty good ball club.
He will be missed by all of us.

Jan and I are so very sorry for the loss of dear friend Peter. We had been friends since we were in school in Wellesley. The photo on the bridge was taken March 1, 2013 when we visited them in Florida.
