I gave Peter and his wife their first pug when he was still at MIT. He went on to show pugs and when he bred one, I got my second pug, and started many years of showing, too. Peter was a good friend way back then. I am saddened to read of his passing, and wish the family well. Alice Woodward, Concord, CA. 2016

I knew Peter from Pratt Whitney. He was a very smart and kind man that always had a funny statement to say about things.
