Father Peter was a true friend - and confidant to many. I will miss our conversations about the Catholic Church - He was a true mentor in helping me - teaching me about many of lifes lessons. My blessings to the entire family - and all of his friends.

Father Peter was a best friend and confidant. We will miss his graciousness, kindness, smile, beatiful homilies, and, most of all, his friendship. We will also miss receiving his beautiful and unusual greeting cards, and the thoughtful and heart warming messages that were included. We are very grateful to have known him since his years at St. Simon Parish.
We hope that he will continue to pray for us in Heaven.

In Jan. 1986 when he was at St. Daniel the Prophet it was Super Bowl Sunday and I remember Fr. Peter ending the Mass and his next words were "And go Bears". May you rest in peace Fr.
