My deepest condolences to Peters family. He was quite a young man! I worked with him at D/C, until I left last November and moved to Arizona. Always happy and ready to do whatever was needed. I know this is a tragic loss, not only for you but for everyone who knew this fine young man. Unfortunately I can't be there for the services, my heart and my prayers will be. As they are with you now. Take care and God Bless!
