I will miss the stories and long conversations about politics that lead to arguments most of the time at family gathers with the siblings but hilarious to listen to. Family gathers will not be the same. The camping trips will not be the same either. I will miss hearing you and Alban arguing over who was going to manage the fire because each of you thought they did the better job at starting a fire or making the biggest fire. Your smile and laugh were contagious. I always knew with you and Marty that it did not matter what time of day it was, if needed, the door was always open with no questions asked. Love and miss you dearly.

Though he may have been taken away from us too soon, his spirit will live on in the memories we cherish and the love we shared. Growing up with Peter was an adventure filled with laughter, mischief, and unconditional love.
Until we meet again, rest easy.

I have three brothers. They are all amazing and very special to me. I can say the same thing about all three. They are super special. Pete held a different place in my heart. He was my oldest brother. He had trials and some tough times. Life never got him down. I love you Peter.
