We will miss his visits to our shop & his kindness to our family. I grew up with Peter in Rockland & always considered him a brother, especially since his birthday was the same day as my real brother's birthday!He would never forget all the great times we had together. His laugh would make everyone in the room laugh.He loved his dogs,his son, his nieces & nephews and would light up when he spoke of them.His collection of Rolling Stones stuff' were his prize possessions. We will miss him a great deal. We know his buddy D.G. was there to greet him as well as many others. Farewell our friend. Rest in Peace.
