Peter was a gentle soul, kind, thoughtful and sensitive. I regret that I didn't attend our most recent high school reunion to see him since graduation, but we had been in contact via email. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to Michael and the rest of Peter's family. Ride in Heaven, dude..Ride free and fast.
