Peter was a graduate of Marquette University Dental School. He proudly served in the US Air Force from 1958-1960, and was a dentist in Menomonee Falls for over 40 years. He was a devoted Christian, and an avid golfer and tennis player. He loved his family and friends, and was always ready with a joke or funny story.
