I'm so sorry to hear the news of Peters passing. Though I haven't seen him in many years my husband and I were just wondering what became of him in February. We even planned on getting back in touch with him. Peter, a gentleman, great storyteller, a hard worker, a good man who loved his girls dearly. We had some great laughs in Milanos back in the day! Only wish our lives crossed over again before he left us. Our heart and love goes out to Peters wife Libby and his family. Fly over your beloved Ireland dear Peter, look over us all and forever rest yourself in peace with your baby girl by your side knowing you will always be loved and missed❤

Rest in Peace Uncle Peter. I was with Mary when we heard the news. I will always remember the 'Fall Guy' toy truck you gave me. I hope Libby will be fine. Malachy
