To The Peters Family...
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Peters. He was my customer for many years at Wells Fargo Bank. I enjoyed him so much. He was such a sweetheart. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We will remember Ben as a great dancer and lover of big band music. He was always full of life and energy at all of our get togethers and had a real enthusiasm that shined through when he was around people. Ben was also the perfect gentleman and we always looked forward to him showing up, looking perfectly dressed and squeaky clean and neat. We will all miss you Ben, especially your loving family. You had such a sparkle about you and it seems hard to imagine that we will no longer see that.

Dad, you were a huge influence in my life. My love of music, my work ethic, my sense of humor, and my positive zest for life, I learned through your example. You were a wonderfully supportive Dad and Grandfather who showed constant concern and support for your children and grandchildren through your unconditional love. I already miss our phone calls, visits and your whistling. I always think of you whenever I hear anyone whistling! I, too, am very appreciative of the move to California.....I would never have survived the Ontario winters! You will forever be loved and missed by all. YOUR LOVING DAUGHTER LESLEY

I will miss you Grampa Ben. You were loved by my kids, your son and me very much. We think of you everyday and know you are at peace looking down on our lives now. I will always think of you when I hear a big band. Love your daughter in law, Lisa

Thanks pop for all the opportunities that you provided me with. I already miss our Sunday conversations about life that was our ritual. Thanks also for the sports and music passion and especially all of the hours that you spent with me playing catch and teaching me about team play. I have tried to pass on your work ethic to my kids and all of my players. I learned from you that when you are compassionate with people it reciprocates. I am proud to have carried on the family name. I know in my heart that you are dancing with mom again and whistling your favorite old tune. WITH LOVE FOREVER FROM YOUR SON. RAYMOND GEORGE

I miss you pop and will always be grateful for the work ethic that you lnstilled in me. Thanks also for passing on to me the passion for youth sports and compassion for people. It will be strange to not hear from G-Ben every Sunday night for a family update. I am deeply appreciative for moving us to NorCal so many years ago and for all the sacrifices that you made along the way make sure that we always had everything that we needed. I know that you are still whistling your favorite tune wherever you are! LOVE FROM YOUR SON RAYMOND GEORGE
