Lost track of family. I worked for them. Peter was a fantastic man, husband, and father. The children were just babies.

I was lucky enough to have had Pete as a a hair client but luckier to have him as a friend. He was kind, funny, smart, self deprecating , generous and as we all know handsome. He loved his family and friends unconditionally and had such pride when speaking of them. I will miss seeing him, catching up and listening in while he, George, Gene and Ted played cards...usually ribbing each other. He left way too soon but he touched so many lives and will stay in our hearts leaving his imprint.
RIP dear sweet Pete. ❤ XO
