I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Peter while at the Federal Crop Insurance. He was a wonderful supervisor and friend. A thoughtful person with a sense of humor. I am fortunate to have lots of great memories.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Peter was a very special person. I have learned so much by listening to him share in our Acts Class. He will be missed very much by all of us.

Peter was our Acts 2:42 brother in Christ. We were blessed for Glen to have met Peter and brought him to church and class. Over the months we grew closer and called him friend. We so much admired his intellectual speaking ability, but mostly his love for Jesus Christ, his wife Jan, and the love of the believing family in our Acts 2:42 class. We will miss you for a while, but will see you again after a while in heaven our brother! Love from your brother and sister in Christ, Bill and Barb Norton

We were so fortunate to come to know Peter when he became a member of our Adult Fellowship Class at Manassas Assembly of God, the Acts 2:42 class. We were saddened to learn of his passing, but we know that Peter is with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our condolences to Jan and all of Peter's family.
