God bless you all in the loss of Peter. I worked with him many years ago at Northeast Jet. Peter and I would be in charge of lunch orders for the employees and would ride together to pick up the lunches. Then him and I would hang out together, usually at the outside picnic table under the maple tree. We would have many laughs about the saga of the company we worked for. Peter was a pleasant guy and was always there to help anyone who needed a helping hand. I will see him again in the clouds.

Bob, Bobby, and Mary.
Tom and I empathize with your loss of son and brother. Pete was always a good kid and you will all be in our thoughts and prayers. He is now with Bertha and will be at peace. I was in Colorado with Mark and family when Tom called with the sad news. Sorry we couldn't be there for you. Even though we are far away, we think of you often. All our love.

Pete was the very first client i met as an ICM and will always be the most memorable. He could always brighten my day and offer advice (as if he were the ICM) over our Cali Burrito Lunches or Sunrise Diner Breakfasts. I never pulled any punches with him & i think sometimes he regretted asking for advice because whatever i said was the exact opposite of what he wanted to do and he'd end up saying "alright, i guess so"!!
He was always thanking me for everything i'd done for him & i probably should have said thank you to him for making my job as an ICM such a great experience.
I'm really gonna miss him! :(

I just heard of Peter's passing today. Laura, I am so sorry. I know the dogs will miss him and so will you. I wish I would have known of this sooner, I was Peter's casemanager last year when his foot problems began and continued to keep in touch with him through Salisbury case management. He will deeply be missed by all of us and his friends he had gained through our monthly outings to Chinese restaurants. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
