To Karen, Jim, and the rest of Peter's family, I'm so sorry to hear this news. I have a lot of fun memories of Peter starting from the time when we were little, when our families would get together over the years. It was wonderful that we got to see him several times a few years ago when we would run into each other at Binghamton hockey games and have a chance to catch up. Thinking of you all.

Kyle and Alex, I'm sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I have very fond memories of living in the apartment at the house and being a part of the family. I'm sorry Alex you couldn't come from Denver due to Covid. RIP Pete.

We were very deeply saddened to here of Pete’s passing. We spent many of our younger days boating on Cayuga lake or taking some crazy trips thru the canals or just getting our families together at one of our homes. During one of our trips to Seneca Falls Pete was the first person to discover Laura was pregnant with Ashley and Nicole. We are very Thankful for all great times we had together . Pete was an awesome guy and will be missed by all That knew him.

I am so sorry to hear this. Please accept my sincere condolences on Peter’s death. We were pretty close as kids and reconnected for a short time when we lived in Syracuse. Unfortunately, we lost touch in the years since. I pray for peace and comfort for his family. I found this picture of two cousins just having fun back in the day...
