He was a kind, sweet, funny, meticulous and really good-looking gentleman with the most beautiful twinkle in his eyes and warm smile.
Peter enjoyed sailing, family gatherings, yard work, working on his cars and antiquing. He loved the ocean, making many trips a year to Hampton Beach, Cape Cod and Marblehead where he spent time on the sailboat he loved – the Elizabeth Ann. He would swim in the ocean as late in the season as October, even if it was bitter cold.
