My condolences and prayers for Peter's family and Winnie. I am at a loss of words. He was a friend and advisor. We enjoyed smoking a cigar and having a single malt on the balcony at the American Club in Hong Kong. Always a smile and a thoughtful ear. I will relish those memories.

Miss you forever

Peter was a true gentleman with a wonderful smile that would light up any room that he would walk into. He would always make time for anyone who needed his advice. Peter was not only a dear friend, he was also the Brother I never had. Rest in Peace Peter and your smile will always glow in our hearts.

Peter lived next door to my grandparents until I was around 4. I was grateful that he would play with me even though I was younger. I have dusty memories of us enjoying the Good Humor truck and playing on Talman Ave. Rest in peace, old friend.
