My deepest sympathies to Peter's family on his passing. I went to High School with Peter and were good friends from then on. Only saw him occasionally during the last ten years, but we always were close in heart. My heart is very heavy today to see that he is gone. To a much better place I'm sure. Love always, Sandy
