Uncle Peter; words cannot properly convey the legacy of such a man that lived with a passion for those he loved. His loyalty, honor and respect spoke through actions, not words, during his life time. He is fondly remembered with much love. Our picture of his heaven is one of beauty and tranquility; may be he is fishing or tending a garden and sharing the harvest. Rest in Peace in heaven with Our Lord, and those loved ones who greet you with open arms.
