Sandra and Geri 
Peter will be missed immensely by his Dignity family, especially me. He was always so supportive and willing to help me no matter the task. There won’t be a day I won’t miss his laugh when I called about a repeating situation at one of our parks. Please know today, tomorrow, snd forever we will be family - that’s the way Peter would want it!  Sending peace and love to you both!

It is not easy as a family member to mark a loss of this magnitude. Your brother will miss you till his last breath, my children will remember you as generous and fun. I will remember you as someone who never stopped... caring for his family while dealing with terrible pain, caring for your coworkers despite your burdens and always' carrying on'. You will always be loved and remembered everyday!!! You are an example of living life to the fullest. May you rest in heaven surrounded by angels and keeping watch over those you left behind. Leave a great light in your wake.🌊🌊

Sending our Condolences to the family and to Peters sister Kelly 🙏

Peter was a loving, devoted and caring Friend. He was also a motivating and inspriring Supervisor. I had the pleasure of calling him Friend and Boss. Peter was a very special Person, his memory will stay with me always.

“Our friend is in a place where we will all go one day, for now he is ahead of us and leaves us with the pleasant memory of such a valuable and unforgettable friendship."
Peter was an exceptional friend and an incredible boss. For our family it was always a pleasure to share with him and his beautiful family very beautiful moments 
Our condolences to all his family and our prayers and our support to Sandrita and Gery. 

“Siempre estarás en nuestros corazones”

Sandra and Geri, 
He was a good man and he will be missed. Shandel and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.---Richie


To Sandra and Geri,  sending love, prayers, and gratitude to have had the opportunity to know Peter.  To my friend and neighbor,  you will be truly missed.   I enjoyed every front yard and driveway conversation... and enjoyed even more our backyard on the dock boating conversations.  Your kindness and genuine smile and warm heart was obvious.  I, WE,  are all better for having known you!  

Hard to put into words how much I loved and appreciated Peter.  His funny stories, his vast experience and knowledge, but most of all his kind nature.  He loved making our park beautiful.  His favorite thing was going to shop for plants.  We will miss him greatly and his legacy will live on in our lives.  

Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to Sandra and Geri.  

Geri & I are immensely grateful for ALL who shared their kind words, prayers, meals, shopping at Publix, endless hugs, and Vitas Hospice with their encompassing guidance and support.

Our union lasted 36 years and was an amazing life. He taught us the meaning of how to be a hands on dad and a loving husband.

Peter was so kind, generous, witty, driven, tenacious, stubborn, loved to help anyone at anytime. He enjoyed buying & fixing homes (I called him Bob the Builder). 

He worked hard and played harder as he enjoyed fishing, water skiing, snow skiing, and golfing.  He loved his family, friends, and respected his coworkers.

Peter carved our hearts with his kindness, infectious smile, and unlimited LOVE.  

His motto was simple-                                    BE BETTER THAN...

See you later Pete! 
Enjoy your heavenly body, rejoicing with Our Father, your other relatives and friends.

I had the privilege of working with Peter for several years.  I really depended on him  and I sought advice from him many times. He did his homework and approached every situation in a  level headed
, and calm manner no matter what the challenge was.  Peter was a family man and loved his family and certainly a  credit to our profession. 

Tammy and I would like to offer our deepest condolences for Peter's passing.

I enjoyed working with Peter as he went from General Manager to Market Director and he will certainly be missed. 

He was always upbeat, smiling and looked at the 'greater good' in every associate he worked with.

Peter, you have been a wonderful neighbor, friend, and an extraordinary human being.  All of our love Sandra and Geri.  

Thank you Peter for helping me start my career as a Funeral Director and getting me the best training from Justin and team at Garden of Memories. You really had a passion for this industry and truly seeing the potential and best in everyone. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you and your kindness and sincere support. You touched so many lives at SCI and were a true leader who cared for his employees. Keeping your wonderful Wife and Daughter in my prayers. 

Sandra and Geri 

I wish I could be there to give you the biggest hugs...know that Peter was loved by me for many things, but most importantly because he was my lymphadenopathy buddy!  He helped me cope with my arm by teaching me how he cared for his leg- he even helped me get my compression machine.  It gave us a goofy bond of sorts .  Please know that I think of you often- and am sending my love.  Pam

Sandra and Geri

Some of  my favorite times with Peter were on the golf course . The last trip to Houston for the Golf Tournament was Legendary .  Peter was good man and  a kind soul . He was so proud of you Geri . He loved being your father and  adored you. Please know that you both are loved by everyone in North Florida .

Peter was a great manager - approachable, friendly, always smiling!  He cared and it showed. He is sorely missed!!!  My deepest condolences to Sandra, Geri, his family, and friends. You are in my prayers.  

Sandra and Geri, I am so sorry for your loss....

I worked with  Peter  for many years and he was truly a wonderful person......he was more than willing to help  whenever and wherever needed....he  always had a smile for everyone and a solution for everything ....he will be missed by many....



Oh my, we go way back - don't we?  I remember when Peter and Sandra were hired a long time ago, when I worked in Pompano Beach with Michael Uselton.  Sandra - you and Peter were such a beautiful couple and wonderful parents.  I always kinda thought of you two as Lucy and Desi - with Peter being Lucy, of course.  I always enjoyed the time I got to spend with him - always with a warm smile and hug, and a twinkle in his eye.  How he will be missed, but I count myself lucky to have known him.  Rest easy now, Peter.  

I did not have the privilege of knowing Peter as long as many but I can truly say in the time I knew him he was a great human being.  He was always very kind and a lot of fun.  He leaves an example for us all to follow.  You are in my prayers and if I can ever be of any help please let me know.

My boss..my mentor..my friend

Words will never describe how grateful I am for having you in my life..how much I learned from you..the laughs and most of all the friendship..I watched you fight and admired your strength.I will miss you more than you know..Thank you Thank you for all you did for me..Rest easy Pete...watch over Sandra and Geri..the loves of your life.

Peter
We are going to miss you terribly, a great boss, an awesome friend, I learned so much from you.  Sandra you have a new Angel who is going to be with you, we love you guys!!

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends. Peter was my General Manager until August of 2020. He always had a smile. He was a great decision maker, and as a counselor that was invaluable.
I learned a lot from Peter, he had an amazing knowledge of his craft.
He was an amazing manager, and an even more amazing human being.  Rest in Peace, Peter.
