Peter was a childhood friend, schoolmate, and pal for many years. We fell out of touch when we attended different schools, but happened to reconnect for a bit years later as young men. I always enjoyed Peter’s enthusiasm and humor as we sought mischievous adventures together, particularly when Mrs. Smith, our friend’s mom, would grab Peter by the ear with a reminder that “we don’t behave that way here”.  I discovered the world of motorcycles a few years after Peter did, and I wish we’d been able to share that. To Peter’s family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. Peter will always be a bright light in my mirror as I continue down this road, and I hope he is for you as well. God bless.

Peter was a great friend and role model in my early alcohol recovery. He saw that I liked to ride and was serious about sobriety. He invited me and another man to join him on multi day ride and camp trip. He set up practice rides to get me used to hours in the saddle. When other guy backed out I figured trip was cancelled. No way.
  He taught me about 12th step work and staying sober by helping another person. When I was a man that few people would spend 4 hours with, Peter was happy to spend 4 days with me. That was a truly epic part of my life and recovery. I still talk about that years later. I love you Brother

I love and miss you my little brother. One of many memories was the time up at Proctor Academy . We were both on the varsity football team. I was a senior and Peter was a freshman. I got ejected for an altercation with one of the running backs on the opposite team. Just before the next play he yelled to me " Don't worry I got this". Unfortunately for the previously mentioned back the next play found the ball ln his hands. Peter hit him so hard he fumbled the ball. Peter picked the ball up and ran it in for  TD.

Thank you Peter for being a great neighbor, my family thought very highly of you. Thank you for everything you did for my mother, my father and my brother. May you rest in peace now, you are no longer in pain .  

Ride free and long and in peace! You will be missed! 

May you enjoy your harleys rides in heaven! You maybe gone but never ever forgotten. 
Peace & Comfort to all your family..
Ride on Peter...
Blessed be!
Gena
