Peter served our great country as a member of the US Marine Corps during the Korean War. Peter retired from Gohr Distributors after 40 years to work for his Butter Lamb sister lady "Dorothy" at the Broadway Market for another 15. He volunteered for many years in the community, for St Luke's Parish and OLC. Gratitude to the caregivers that allowed Dad to live his best life.
