    So sorry to hear of his passing. He was my old friend. I will cherish the fun times we shared as children and the memories we laughed about as grown-ups. He was quite a fine man.

    Peter was the epitome of kindness and compassion. His life force was strong, caring, and giving - his heart gave enough for two lifetimes. I will miss his smile and quick laugh. Peter loved his family dearly. He always regaled us with stories of his brother and sister, and nieces. He was so proud of all of you. We will miss him dearly.

    My respect & condolences to the family & loved ones. Peter was a great and very personable guy! I just found this notice on today - very saddened. We met & trained years ago at Kwon's Karate Academy in Clifton Heights, PA. Had good fun, and some nice lunches after workouts at the facility. Again, my heart goes out to his loved ones - we had not been in touch in many years; was caught unawares that he had transitioned. God bless; prayers. -D.J. Wilford
