Jason and Michael,
I worked for your father back at NTI Mountain View, and credit him for starting my career. He was the best boss and I am thankful for many wonderful memories. I will always hear his laughter and I am still using one of his NTI calculators etched with his initials! I will miss him.

Jason and Michael, family and friends,

All were privileged to have known, loved this fine man. It is so very difficult to loose one so young. But Peter's legacy is one all should follow. His son's Jason and Michael were deeply loved by their father.

Our condolences to his sons, sister, my brother, nephews, and only niece, all his cousins and friends.

Just know that HEAVEN has greeted their newest angel.

Dear Jason, Michael, and Family:
Peter was one of the nicest men I've ever known...and I've known him my entire life. I fondly remember Saturday's when my Mom would bring us to NTI to help her file, while she could work. Peter would always be there with Sunny. He'd take a walk with me and my sister, Jessi, to the vending machines and get us candy. I later grew to know him again when they moved to the Victor Place Warehouse as the Support Center. He would constantly joke with me about bringing him lunch, too.
Peter was always a man full of smiles, which were contagious. He had a love for life and a very kind heart and soul. He would always brag about his boys, and it has felt like I've known you over the years. I feel forever blessed to have known him.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if I can do anything for you anytime.
My deepest sympathies,
Jervaise

Dear brother Peter,
When I got the call from your sister-in-law that you passed away, its like life stop, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, No not Peter. "not you"...

I lost a brother who had a kind word to all the people he met. I very proud to call you my friend. The love I have will live in me until I die. A loving father for your two boys Jason & Michael. I will miss you very much Peter, you're a man I look up too. Words are very hard to come by because I can't believe your are gone from my life, after seeing you a few month ago.
Your Loving Brother-in-law,

Uncle Pete,

Where did you go? I feel like this is a nightmare. I can begin to tell you the pain in my chest when I read your name on this. I lost an Uncle and my best friend. It was just a week ago you were giving me advice to sell. Nobody knew the closeness we had and the conversations we were able to hold between each other. My insides are hurting so bad but I keep trying to think that your with grandpa now to make myself feel better. You were taken so soon it is not fair. You were the best Uncle I had. We were so much alike in so many manys. I will never forget the lessons you taught me and one I will hold in my heart forever. "Patricia, you get more out of life with your overall kindess" . I will remember that forever you told me the kinder you are the more friends and clients will follow you. You have touched so many lives. Please don't worry about Jason and Michael we will take good care of them. I love you so much and I will never forget the love you had for me in return. Love your neice Patricia

I only knew Peter from work emails and phone calls, but he was one of my favorite people to work with.
I'll miss his ebullience, his frequently scathing wit, and his meticulous attention to detail. My thoughts are with those who knew him personally and will miss him even more than I will.

Dear Family and Friends of Peter

I well remember my first meeting with Peter; how he quickly put me at ease and made me feel like and old friend. I have come to find that Peter had the gift to make anyone he met feel exactly that way. No matter how often we spoke to or saw each other Peter brought me up to speed on the latest with him and his family. Peter's joy, honestly and his friendship are his legacy and will be sorely missed.

Godspeed my friend...
Jon
