Peter was a year behind me in high school and was a model wrestler. He had an incredible work ethic and set the bar for the whole team. I wish I had his dedication and focus back then.

Peter was my best friend growing up. He was thoughtful, brilliant, handsome and athletic. I wished I could be like Peter, but that wasn't to be -- so I was proud to call him my friend. I have no doubt that all the angels and saints welcomed Peter home and he'll have a place in Our Father's house. To all of Peter's family and friends I hope that good memories and faith see you through these sad times.
