Peter was a kind and generous friend for many years. His sweet cards, gifts of mix tapes, books, and other surprises from home brightened my life. Peter's friendship was very special to me and I will miss him dearly.

Count the stars in a summer sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops coming down

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. From the time we were kids riding bikes on Pearl St., to graduating with him, to having my mail delivered-he has always been someone I have been happy to have as a friend. I will miss our talks and his smiling face. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Ann Peters Wright

I can think of no higher tribute to Buck than to say he was my friend. As I trace my memories, I cannot recall a time when I did not know Buck, nor can I remember a single instance when we shared cross words. No, Buck was a gentleman and a gentle man. His smile could light up a room and he was forever smiling. I will remember that happiness -- and I will hold it in my heart.

Sorry to see Buck go. I remember playing basketball behind his on Pearl St, Then playing organised sports at the school with him and then working different post offices with him! Also our Risk tourneys together with various people Buck and Bill Johanson were the most entertaining!
Good luck, Paulie and the other Boivins Steve Bolduc

His dad Omar graduated a few years ahead of my mom at Cortland College and later was one of my baseball coaches, his aunt Rita was my third grade teacher, Buck, my friend, you'll be truly missed

My wife Kim and I offer our sincere sympathy at this difficult time. "Mailboy" was fun to bowl with and against. I know he loved his New York Giants and was so happy to see them win the Super Bowl. He will be missed.
