    We will all sadly miss Peter.

    He always brought a smile to our faces when he came to visit. He was sooo upfront and funny,,,,, and we loved his old Ford trucks. We could always hear him coming and always heard him sqealing up the pavement when he left. That was Peter.

    Take care of each other. You are all in our thoughts and prayers

    Valerie, Neil & Nicholas: We have thought all week of the right words to say – but the “right” words just don’t come to mind. We are truly heartbroken over this tragedy, Peter was a true part of our “family” from the garage and we will miss him so much. He was always popping in to visit whenever he could – and always had to tease a bit on his way. His laughter will not be forgotten and his devilish ways cannot be duplicated. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hold on to the memories of good times – they will help get you through this troubling time. Love to you all.
