We didn't know Peter well but we know he loved music and the Times Changed. Peter always greeted Chantal and I warmly, including a few times we met him outside the TC. A year already, I was thinking about him while at the TC the other eve, life changes. - Posted by: Keith McDougall (Aquaintance) on: Jun 14, 2014

On some occasions Peter would be the only person at Times who would come up to me and shake my hand and say hi and ask questions/visit. That meant a lot to me and we all meant a lot to him. I've been going there for 15 years and I really appreciated his kindness every time I'd see him. He will be dearly missed. - Posted by: Dan Frechette (Friend) on: Jun 29, 2013

Peter meant so much to me. I truly think he understood what we do at Times Change better than anyone. He was a devoted music fan, a true and generous friend, and a wonderful soul! He will be missed so very, very much. - Posted by: John Scoles (Friend) on: Jun 25, 2013
