Peter was a wonderful spirit and a great person to work for at ML McDonald. I remember jogging with him during a few lunch hours; he helped to teach me to breath through the struggle as we went up hills! I got a kick out of him, as he didn't look like the "type" to have a motorcycle! But he looked GREAT on it!! Such a nice person, I was especailly lucky to have known him and am thankful he shared his life with me.

Dear Peter,
I met you in the early seventies in the workplace. Your first and lasting impressions that I think describe you the best were:
*You were always Mr. Positivity – Mr. Upbeat. Win/Win for everyone. A “closer” - a “professional” - Didn't need a lot of coffee – full of energy.
*Devoted family man and friend - a dog lover (remember Toto).
*Photographer extraordinaire
* Best hair ever - never had a bad hair day.
My last will & testament (and Donna too) which we will always cherish were the pictures you took at Alan's & Diane's house when they hosted Donna & I (and our friends) for an engagement party in 1976. Thank you for those lasting memories. Although I didn't see you often in recent years, we did stay in touch thru our golf. I always used you as a professional reference in recent years when I left self-employment and needed a favorable reference with a prospective employer. I am sorry I didn't see you before your passing. I spoke with Mary this past Monday about visiting you even though I knew your circumstances were grim. That visit was to be Wednesday. I was a day late. I regret that. Rest in Peace my friend.
