I met Peter at the indoor flea market in Schodack. I rented space from him and Sue. In a short time he made me feel like family. He and Sue took an interest in my personal life as I did theirs. He was a great husband, father and friend. He always kept a great demeanor and truly cared for all around him. Gone too soon from this earth but will always be with Sue and his family each day from a place where he can do so much more than here. RIP my brother, keep doing great things from where you are now. My love to Sue and all the Maxwell family. From Carmelle and Shay also.
