Our sincerest condolences to Peter's family and friends. I loved talking to him at car shows. Everyone loved his beautiful '64 Chevy Impala. I will always remember Peter when I see a white '64 Chevy Impala. He was a true patriot and the only person we knew that was shot down while flying a helicopter in Vietnam. He was a super nice guy and friend to us and will truly be missed. Rest in peace Peter and may God be with you.
