I met Pete in 1982 at Ft Dix when I was a young captain and he was a wise old major. Always unflappable, Pete could be depended upon for a rational view of any crisis and a commonsense approach to a solution. I learned a great deal from him and made a life-long friend. We later worked together as civilians, again with Pete being the teacher, although I don't know if he knew it. He was just being Pete. We enjoyed many parties together. I never saw him without a drink in his hand and I never saw him drunk. I will always remember Pete as a gentleman who accomplished amazing things but never seemed stressed or even to b…
I met Pete and many of his friends while working at Fort Dix. I worked with Pete and some wonderful people while working on the Source Selection Board to select a contractor to take over the Base Operations for Fort Hamilton in New York. I worked on the Board for a period of two years. For over 30 years Pete threw a St. Patrick's Day party usually on the Saturday before the holiday. Every year I looked forward to attending these parties and reuniting with Pete and other's I had known at Fort Dix. Pete was one of the most generous and witty people I have ever known.

It is still so very hard to believe that Peter is gone. As so many of his friends and family have said, he was a kind, funny, generous, selfless friend to all. As his younger cousin, I was always in awe of him, as and adult I relied on him for help and advice when I was caring for my father, his Uncle Al, and as a shoulder to cry on when things got really tough. He came to our holidays, wine in hand, and with stories to entertain us. I will never forget his kindnesses. Heaven got a good.
Rest easy, Peter, I will miss you always,
Cousin, Nancy
Pete was a great friend to all. I will always remember all the good times our group had. Rest in peace Pete. Jane Totman
I have known Pete for almost fifty years. He was responsible for mentoring me in my many accomplishments in the military, Veterans Originations and Civil Service. No matter where I was in the world, I could always call upon him for superior guidance and advice.
He was always a true gentleman, sound leader and sincerer friend to all who came in contact with him. Now, heaven needed another angel and called him. I will truly miss him. Rest in peace Brother.
