I just found out Peter passed which is sad to hear. But Peter enjoyed life - working, dancing, socializing, jamming, walking wherever he needed to go. He was a good friend for many years to me and others. I will miss the fun times together we had together.

Many people in Northfield, MN. have good memories of Peter. Peter gave me a dog that I still love today.

We will all miss Peter at dance on Friday nights and at our breakfast each Saturday morning. Peter and I traveled to Belize and Guatemala together in October 2009 to travel the countries, to snorkel, to see the Mayan ruins and hike thru the jungle. He was a friend that I will forever miss. My condolences to Mete and Cathy and the rest of his family.
