Great man and a great family. Blessings to you all.
We will always remember Peter for how he always made sure the young family members enjoyed new experiences that became lifelong memories for them. Our daughter, Taylor, along with her cousin, Rachel, were among those young ones who now have such wonderful memories of their times with Peter and Deena. I especially want to thank Peter and Deena for making the trip to Atlanta in May to join in the 100th birthday celebration for my dad. Please know that dad was very touched by the effort you made to be with us on his special day. God bless you both.
Deena,
I’m so sorry for the loss of Peter. He was a wonderful, kind, happy man who will always be a warm memory for myself, as well as everyone who knew him. Please accept my sincerest condolences and know I am thinking of you- Love, Melissa (D’Arrigo) Gale
I was fortunate to know Peter for 50 years! Deena and I were stewardesses together at Braniff when she met Peter. She was very smitten with her dentist! Over the years we had many, many memorable times together in Syracuse, Orlando, Atlanta, and many other locations. We traveled together to Switzerland and to Italy. I loved visiting them in Marco. Peter and Deena had a great partnership and they were very successful in all of their ventures. Peter was smart, knowledgeable, kind, gracious, generous, friendly and accommodating. My heart breaks for Deena and I will always remember Peter as a good man and dear friend who was blessed to have one of my best friends for his wife.
What a wonderful life Deena and Peter shared. I am thankful that Larry and I were lucky enough to have spent many fun times together with you both. Dinners, boat rides, weekends at the Grasse River club, the snowmobile trip to the Great Divide and Jackson Hole, our trip to Mexico. I will miss his great smile and his generous gentle demeanor. Hopefully he and Larry can meet in this new chapter they have both gone to and talk about boats. Know that his memory will be with me forever. Love you, Deena. Liz Weeks
