DeeDee & Family - We are so very sorry for the ever so sudden loss of Peter. He was one in a million. I would always marvel at the close relationship he had with his girls. He would just beam when talking about them. And, he was so proud of them. May the girls always remember his love and carry on his traditions and make their dad proud. You are all in our prayers.

Pete was the ULTIMATE dance parent, he could put a dance platform together quicker than anyone we know, and then turn around and put hair up into a perfect bun! I will think of him fondly whenever it's time to do hair before a competition. Always supportive of not only his daughters but also all the girls that they dance with. We will miss him

To Dee-Dee and family,
It was with great sorrow that I learned of Pete's passing. Pete was a wonderful friend and person. "Kid" could light up a room with his smile and laughter. Regardless of circumstance, Peter would always bend over backwards to help a friend in need. He had a heart of gold. I cherish the memories. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We were so sorry to hear about Peter's accident. The most important thing we know about Peter is that he was a wonderful Dad which is one of the greatest tributes than anyone can say about a person. He loved his girls and they loved him.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to the whole family. He will be sadly missed.

Terry and I met Peter when he hosted his brother's old Dodge truck gathering in August 2005. After just one visit at his home, we knew he was a special person. It was very obvious how much he was devoted to his girls. We will forever hold dear our fondness for Peter and our sadness over his untimely loss. Our heartfelt wishes for comfort go out to the Fraser family at this most difficult time.

The world lost a real stand up guy on Friday. I was always so impressed with Pete's devotion to his girls. He was one of the best dads I have ever met. It was obvious when you saw him with his children that they had a beautiful relationship. My heart breaks for Ammanda, Anna and Mary Emma.
