Nancy and Girls,
I really looked forward to playing more golf with Peter. I enjoyed him as a golf partner the few times we did golf together up in Whitefish. I'll really miss him.
You are all in our prayers. Steve, Barb and Joe.

To Peter’s Family: I worked closely with Peter a few years ago. He was always a pleasure to work with. His humor made the work fun. The memory of his wit and humor will live on in me. The shock of his untimely passing is a reminder of the gift of each day, particularly with our loved ones. I am very sorry for your loss. You and Peter are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Nancy and Family,
I was saddened to hear of Peter's death. He was helpful and generous -- and willing to argue about anything, with anyone, just for the fun of it. I'll miss him.

To Peter's Family: My prayers are will you all. Peter was a friend and colleague of mine. I will miss his wit, sense of humor and, most of all, his technical expertise. I hope all of his children know how proud your Dad was of you- as I was one of the lucky ones to swap child-rearing tales with him and I heard about it frequently.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies to your family. I want you all to know that Peter was a great colleague and was always willing to help me out. He did fantastic process work for scale up to the factory. We shared a common passion about good Italian food and am indebted to him for his Pasta Sauce recipe.

I worked with Peter in Rochester New York and enjoyed every minute with him, a great person and very much fun to be with, God took him from us too soon.
Please take care and you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
