I have great memories of working with Peter at Locust Lawn--- and his patient attempts to teach me how to drive a motorcycle [not a good idea while wearing an all-white uniform!] He could often be found wearing a gas mask to slice the sweet onions for the famous deep fried onions, or silently concentrating on washing the huge piles of dishes that Kathy, Roger and Kay dumped into his never empty sink. Peter was a great guy, a loving father, a persevering driver, a spirited adventurer and a kindred soul. I regret not having spent more time knowing him.
May angels fold their wings of peace over your troubled hearts.

To the family, I am sorry to hear the news about your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2
