Peter was such an exceptional guy. His wit and funny personality will definitely be missed. I had the pleasure and was blessed to know him while working at the West Center of LCAR and then The Arc. Him and Sister Joan were so funny together and brought a smile to our faces every day. May God bless your family and prayers of comfort for you all.
