Happy Heavily Birthday Peter, always in my heart

Peter was a youngster at the New London Post Office when I first met him and his other school friends, some who stayed and made a career in the PO. My memories of Peter are happy and pleasant as he a tremendous sense of humor and he gave as good as he got from the oldsters such as myself. I would run into Peter from time to time as his sons were the same age as my youngest as they were involved in high school sports also. I offer my sincerest condolences to the family and Peter will forever be fondly remembered. I offer my apologies for not attending the wake as a serious family health matter arose and I had to respond to that. Rest in peace my friend,

I worked with Pete at New London PO, when I first started in the mid 1970's. He made a new hire feel right at home! He was very funny and an all around happy person. God Bless.
