Peter I'll never forget the time you made me eat grass when I five years old. My grandmother was so mad. We played countless street football and hockey games. I smoked my first cigar with you. When I was 11 years old You convinced me I had a fatal desease
and gave me the nick name marafran syndrome. You took me to my first championship as my hockey coach. Peter you will always be a big brother to me. I'm gonna miss you. Jimmy (Normal ave)

Uncle Pete,
I'll always remember the time you showed me the West side. I was 16. The passion in your voice and the bounce in your step bragging about your "Nephew" to everybody and I mean everybody that walked by. "The best basketball player in the midwest" you said. I walked proud. You took me to a backyard court one that everyone dreams about, if you are a true ball player. We went 1 on 1 for hours. "You can't beat me Uncle Pete" "watch and Learn nephew". You took me to the rim time after time and I lost, but you taught me. You taught me that rugged street game and how to play tough. "dip your shoulder" "play physical you gotta use your body" "go to the rim hard, I'm gonna foul you". I have never forgotten that day I remember it like it was yesterday. My mom always said I reminded her of you and I was so proud when she said that. I developed the nickname "the Pistol" in JuCo basketball and in my Heart I knew which Pete it stood for...
You didn't know it but you were one of the people who inspired me to become the coach and teacher I am today.
You will be missed..

Peter was a loving person. We have known him since he was a little boy on Breman Street. He visited us up until the time we moved. I still thought about him expecially when I went to feed the homeless people here.. May he rest in peace in God's arms.

Uncle Jerry, Cousin Michael & Marianne & Mandi, ......... Randy & I were so sorry to hear about Peter. Reading these guest book pages has been a memory trip back to the WEST SIDE. They are proof of how loved Peter was and what an impact this man made on so many lives. Only in Death are our eyes opened. May he finally find peace and rest with the Angels. I'm sure Aunt Ann welcomed him home, may that be of some comfort to you all. We will pray for you cuz, rest well.

The West Side lost an original when it lost Pete "Boch".
Man, playing hockey and talking sports with Pete was always fun. Hanging at his house after games was always nuts as was his "Mickey Rats" dance. Some funny stuff with Pete.
Pete "Botch" you will be missed.

I'll miss talking with Peter about the "Old West Side" and his love of sports especially baseball. He not only could tell you about every hit he ever had, he could tell you what the count was before he hit it. Wilson Farms will never be the same.

Peter will be remembered by many for the fun and loving person he was – riding his bike throughout the West Side on any given day or heading to a game of sports with a gang of kids trailing behind him. Always willing to assist with anything for anyone! He was an example to us all! Regardless of his ups or downs, his spirit and personality had the unique gift of uplifting others! If you had the good fortune of knowing Peter, then you were undoubtedly “touched” by the lifelong impression he left behind...

You were good to us kids. We will all miss you, Pete.
