We were so sad to hear of Peter's death. He led a gallant fight over numerous difficulties with grace and charm throughout his life.
Although we have been away from Bennington for these last ten years, he was often in our thoughts. His gentleness and goodness will be remembered by all who knew him.

Julie,
I was saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. He was a sweet man, seems like I knew him all my life. I remember Dad telling stories about working with him at the Carbon when I was just a kid. I remember hearing his cuckoo clocks going off when he lived below Bruce and I on Beech St. He was always kind to my boys and would show them his cars. It is so hard to say goodbye, but his pain and suffering has ended.
