To Lynn Anne and Lisa, I was a childhood friend to your brother Peter and we grew apart when your family moved to 23rd and Washington. I wish we would´ve kept up with our friendship. I´m sure I missed out on a lot. I always loved your family.

I remember Peter well from cyo sports in grade school and Allentown Central Catholic. Always very friendly and funny. When I got out of the service we hung out quite a bit. He was a true American hero. A US Army Airborne Ranger! You´ve got my total respect buddy. God rest your soul and most special prayers to your family and friends.

So very sad to hear this news of Peter´s passing. Sending hugs and prayers to all of His friends and family. I have fond memories from this guy. He actually is one of my funniest memories from our childhood as we were in a play together at Saint Catherine´s. The play was "Sorry Wrong Number" - I was the old lady on the phone. Pete added a retractable prop play knife for the scene when he takes me out. After getting over the initial shock, I never laughed so hard. Fun times with this character of a guy. God Bless and fly high Pete, see ya on the other side.

I am so sorry to hear about Peter's passing. My sympathies to the family. Peter and I grew up together attending St. Catherine's and CCHS together, he was one year behind me. Peter was competitive in all he did. I always like we played sports together because I knew he would give it his all. He always had the big grin on his face which lead others to believe he was up to something, and he usually was! We shared some great memories. May Pete rest in peace.
