Peter was one of my Best Friends. He was a true Patriot who loved this country and served it with great honor, dignity, and valor. He was a quiet man and kept his life a mystery. Peter always wanted to come to the aid of other people and help in any way he could. Peter was a very generous man always looking out for other people wanting to make their life easier. Peter and I both had a passion for cars, he worked on his 1970 Lincoln Mark III for 10 years, a beautiful car. We had many fun times together going to the Webster Auto Flea Market, 50’s concerts, and just hanging out talking about the country and the politics of our times. His favorite holiday was Memorial Day he always showed his support for his country, so fitting that the Lord called him home on Memorial Day. Pest in Peace my friend until we meet again love you.
Peter,
I am honored to have passed through your life. You made a lasting impression that will remain with me for the rest of my days.
Hope you are enjoying your next cosmic adventure and our paths will cross once again.

I was blessed to know him for six years. I will miss him he helped me put the finsihing touches on my 1965 corvair ,, See you soon my friend as it will be just a blink of an eye in your work (heaven)
