I knew Peter from work and thoroughly enjoyed working with his as a professional, and a fine and caring individual. I had the utmost respect for Peter He brought much needed credibility to the ethics department. He handled various issues for me, and I had full trust and faith in him. My sympathies to his family.

Peter was a Marine and so was my brother. After my brother died,I requested that a mass be said for my brother. Peter and Linda both came to that mass because "Semper Fi " - once a Marine, always a Marine. Peter helped me to honor my brother. Peter - we will miss you! Katharine & Carl
