Dear Chrysoula we would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your family. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. I am deeply saddened by Peter's passing. I will never forget his saying “hey Tsambiko kanena gramma apo tin patrida?”. Peter was such an exceptional friend and a true human being.

Chrysoula
We were sorry to see that Peter passed away.
He will really be missed. He did a lot of charity works as well as you have. I served
on the Ahepa apartment board because I was
a Daughter of Penelope president. It was a honor serving. Peter served on many charities organizations. Miss being in St Louis! My sympathy to you & your family!
