I still think of Peter often. He loved a certain snack and to this day I see it at the grocery store and think of him. I also think fondly of Gus. Those boys were very special to me and to my family. May they REST In PEACE...

I think of Peter often and I can imagine the loss his family and loved ones endure. There will always be an empty chair at the table where Peter should sit with family for dinners, holidays, reunions, and celebrations. I so miss our beautiful Peter. He was the love of my granddaughter Olivia's life, she so loved him, we all did. I am grateful for the time we had with him I only wish it could have been much longer. I still become emotional when I think of him or see his picture. Our family loved this young man...

Monica and Peter,
We just learned of your loss from Judy... How devastating to lose a child: it's not supposed to be that way. It is something that is inexplicable and goes against the grain of life. But one cannot simply push a "re-set" and go back. Your son made an indelible mark on your lives, an imprint that was a result of love. May he live forever in your hearts as that person who brought you joy as well as tears, as one who perished, but will be ever with you.
God bless you and your family.
With sincere condolences,
The Chaloupeks

Dear Monica and Peter,
No words can express how our heart ached when we read about Peter's passing. Although we didn't know him as a young man we did know that he was a loving, funny and sweet baby, toddler and young boy. We wanted to reach out, even though we haven't seen one another for years; to say that we are praying for your family and care that you are deeply hurting.

Love,

Dan and Tammi Armstrong

Dear Rancatore Family,

We are so sorry and sad to hear about Peter. Although it has been many years since we have seen all of you, we can still vividly picture him as an adorable young child. Looking at his adult pictures, he looks just like his parents. He is very handsome. We are praying for Peter IV and all of you at this incredibly sad time.

With Love and Sympathy,

Peter was such a wonderful young man. My heart is broke for all of you. I remember so many memories of watching he and Adam and all of the other little guys grow into fine young men from preschool on. There will be a void left in a lot of lives. May time bring you peace and his memories bring you joy. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

My granddaughter Olivia Schutt was the love of Peters life! They dated in high school and moved in together when Olivia turned 18. Peter was her soul mate. So sad for Olivia, his parents, and family; beyond words, beyond comprehension. I know the years Peter and Olivia experienced with each other were full of love, fun, laughter... His blue eyes were so bright and when he looked at Olivia one could see the love they had for one another. They hugged all the time. She will miss his powerful embrace, his loving glance, and will always think of Peter as her first love. How sad for the loss of his precious life and sad for all of us he left behind.
