Peter was a good friend to any one who was blessed to know him. My dad used to say that Peter's University Restaurant served the best tasting food from the cleanest restaurant kitchen in Tampa. Our love and thoughts are with Julie, Pete and all your loved ones.

I am so very sad to hear of your loss. Mr. Pete was like a father to me. I have missed him over the years and I often think of all of the long hours (and the fun) that we had working together at the University Restaurant. I am so glad that I stopped by to visit with him before I moved to Illinois. My thoughts and prayer are with you. He was a very good person...
