I'm very sad to hear of peters passing - I worked for him at Frank's nursery at the time I was hired he was store manager of the Norwalk CT store - then he was permoted to DM I helped him out with paper work and spread sheets calling his. Stores for info he needed - I enjoyed helping him out made me feel important ( even though I wasn't) lol the store managers ( most of them) hated when I called - hey it's Patti from 641 I would hear UGH! He brought sayer to the Norwalk store a few times - so cute - so many memories of our times at Frank's - RIP Peter you will be missed

I'm going to go down memory lane here:

When I was young and he was dating my sister and obviously not my brother in law yet, he would take my friends and I Trick or Treating. His mom Helen would give us these huge Hershey bars as our Halloween goodies. He would drive us to the neighborhoods with the most houses. He would drive us back to my house so we can unload our candy and go back out again. He had a mission to make sure we received a lot of candy.

One year at Christmas (he was a good sport joining our family during those holidays, LOL) he gave my brothers these handheld machines that would make obnoxious noises and/or rude remarks when you pushed the button. We would all be laughing so hard, including my mom. He was a good sport when interacting with the Intemann family.

Peter drove a black Trans Am back in the day. His license plate number was "PDT" for his initials, some people thought it spelled POT. I would ask him all the time to give me a ride to school, because it was a cool car. Of course he did, there was never a time when he ever said no to anyone.... in any event, my friends at St. Aloysius thought I was the coolest kid getting dropped off in a Trans Am. When I was in Saxe Jr. High, he would pick me up to go and pick up Michelle, my sister his GF at that time at Woolworth's where she worked. We would go for Burger King for dinner or John's best pizza in Norwalk. I remember when we were at John's best for pizza and I had ordered a few too many pizza's(not knowing what large size was) he said to me, you better eat it all or we can't leave. Obviously I could not eat it all, but it was a long time afterwards that I did NOT want pizza, LOL.

Now this is a memory that some would be offended because I was quite young when we went, but I am going to tell it anyway. Peter and Michelle brought me to the Playboy club in New York City for dinner. (Okay everyone close your mouth, lol) We got dressed up and went into New York City, where we had dinner at the club and I believe we saw a play before that, it was an epic time. Peter was always going out of his way to do nice things for me.

I remember the day his daughters were born. He called me and said "Sawyer has arrived, she is so beautiful" He could not stop crying. The day Whitney was born, I told him he better make sure I am the first one he calls. He agreed, and when he did call, he was so choked up, he could not speak. I asked if everything was alright, he said of course through choked up sobs...."I have another beautiful little girl".

Peter will be missed and my prayers are with with his family. I honestly can't believe he is gone. As it has been said "he may be gone, but he is not forgotten" Angels watch over you Peter.
