I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Peter. He was my right hand man when I ran the sporting goods dept for a few years at Garden City Wal-Mart. We always discussed hockey and football during the seasons and I always razed him for being a Flyers Fan. He was a hard worker and had the gift of the gab. I always knew when Peter was because my sales for the total department were always up. He had the ability to sell and get the customers coming back on a regular basis. Even thou I transferred to a new location I always remembered Peter and his work ethic. A few years ago I returned to Garden City to do a training course and I stayed later after it ended just so I could say hi when he started his shift. A Great man, with a great heart you will be missed dearly - Posted by: Joel P (Co-Worker) on: Jul 17, 2016

I've been Peters friend since 1979 ,We hang out quite a bit together over last 35 years - Pete always had a fantastic personality and was probably one of the funniest guys to joke around with . He was a True friend who go out of his way to help people- even complete strangers- he was just that type of good person with a huge heart. There's really not enough words to describe what a great friend and person Pete was . I feel very badly I did not get to see him in his last days -as I was hospitalized myself for a while previously, and later when I phoned the hospital to enquire about visiting him -they told me only family would be allowed to see him...so I never even got to visit him in the hospital. But I wanted to leave my deepest condolences to his family -Brother Chris,his nieces, etc ... Pete was very much my best friend and will never be forgotten - Posted by: Rob Mazurek (Long-Time Personal Friend Of Peters ) on: Jul 16, 2016
