My love and prayers for Dianne, Peter Jr, Greg, Julie and the rest of his wonderful family. Peter was my first boss, I his executive secretary at MC Development back in the late 80s. More importantly he was my lifelong friend. He was one of those people who came into your life and no matter how much time passed, we would see each other again, and no time had passed. Peter and Dianne would visit RI yearly and made sure we got together to catch up! I will miss him with all my heart. He was the best of the best! With Love, Sue Sunderland Cook

Good friend, reliable and valued colleague, and great American Army veteran. A wise Bostonian who wasn't born in the South but got here as quickly as he could. Rest well my friend.
