Peter will be terribly missed by all of us in the SAPA group. Pete's been a big part of this multi-municipal association from its beginning in 2006, and he's been dedicated to the work of planning in West Abington Township. He had a great sense of humor and a quiet thoughtfulness. We sometimes discovered what an interesting life he's had, when on rare occasions we could get him to talk about himself. Pete will always be held in our hearts. We're thinking of his family.

My deepest condolences to all of the Northrup family on the passing of your son, brother, father, uncle, grandfather and friend to me, Peter. I grew up with Peter since before Kindergarten and grade school - as a fellow West Abington township farmer family - I dont recall a time when I didnt know the Northrups. He was always a great fellow classmate, childhood friend, quiet, kind, reserved and respectful.
Im so sorry he was taken from you way too soon and my heart is so heavy to learn of his passing.
May he Rest In Peace.
