To the entire VandenBerg Family
It was always a pleasure to talk with Peter whether it was at Rec Soccer games in WFB or Grill Nights at Town Club. You have a beautiful, thoughtful family that continues to display Peter's caring and kind nature. He will be missed. Our prayers are with you.

Very sad to hear of Peter's demise. He was truly one of the great ones in our industry. His thoughtfulness, ability to communicate, and always making the extra effort made him special. I am sure the enthusiasm he brought to his job was similar to what he brought to family and friends. He will truly be missed.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Peter's passing. I had the great honor and pleasure of working with Peter for 5 years back in the 1980's. Peter was truly a person of great character and compassion. His honesty, his dedication and his love of family are qualities that carried him forward. He will truly be missed.

I was deeply saddened to read the news of Peter. I remember him as a wonderful spirit. Although, I haven't seen him since I was much younger, living nearby, his memories of his youth made me smile. Our families shared the same interest in tennis, schools and neighborhoods.
May God bless his family and friends and help you to endure his departure.
With deepest sympathies,
Abbie Pursley Plunkett

Chris,
I am very sad to hear of Peter's death and want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, your mother and your entire family in this difficult time.
I remember, many years ago, meeting with Peter (at your request, I think) when he was contemplating moving from "Wall Street" back to the midwest and closer to "home". I thought he was a very impressive young man and his life's accomplishments confirm my opinion.
I also fondly remember that, at that time ,you and Peter played a couple of sets of paddle with J. Delavan and me and you two quickly put us away and cleverly quieted Delavan's chatter.

Words can not express how sorry we are about the passing of Peter. He was one of a kind, a great man with a wonderful family. We truly feel blessed to have been his friend and inspired by his faith and courage over the past year. Our prayers and sympathy go out to Nancy and the rest of the Vandenberg family.
