There are just not enough words to describe my big brother Peter. He had a heart of gold and would literally give you the shirt off his back. He was an instant friend to everyone he met, (the unofficial Mayor Jersey City when we were young). You could just not help loving him, his sense of adventure and mischievousness created wonderful memories for me. I hope that Heaven is ready for some fun! All my Love, Jill
