Peter was a member of my church in Morris, Ct. He helped my husband and I purchase our first and only home. I will always be greatful to him. A kind, loving and giving man. RIP my friend and condolence to Sandy and her family.

Chris,
My heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of your Dad. Didn't realize you were one of 5 kids. I hope you're showered in love from all corners.
Hang tough.

Peter was a wonderful man and so highly thought of in the community. He was a great advisor to me during my time of being a restaurant owner. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time.
