Peter was a great guy...I was shocked to hear he had passed away earlier this year. I was wondering why he never responded back to me on FB. We use to work together at Quonset Point and I hadn't seen him in years. I figured he retired when I didn't see him in the EB phone directory. I send my deepest sympathy to his family. He use to always make me laugh....and I will remember him fondly

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with him in Materials in the nineties, I will miss most how he made me laugh.
He had a great attitude and was a joy to work with. May you find peace in knowing he is at home with the Lord
