Pete was my instructor in the WCDOC academy back in 1981. He was a fine instructor and an excellent captain. I will continue to pray for the repose of his soul. My heart goes out to his entire family and I pray that god will comfort them during their time of great sorrow and loss.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Peter was a good man and he will be missed. He was the first person we met when my wife and I moved to Mahopac on Owen Drive. It was always a side show when Peter was left watching the tribe when Luanne went to class or out shopping. God Bless him and his family!

I was so terribly sorry to learn of the passing of my dear childhood friend Peter. Not only did we grow up together but we attended the same college, Iona in New Rochelle. And happily it was through him that I met my wife Anne. He was best man at my wedding and godfather to my middle daughter, Kate.
He was fortunate to marry a wonderful woman, Luanne and was blessed with a large family and a inspiring career. I only

He was fortunate to marry a wonderful woman, Luanne and was blessed with a large family and a inspiring career. I only regret that we lost touch as I crisscrossed the country with my family.
I know you are in heaven, Peter smiling down at all of us. Here's to you.

I was shocked to hear of uncle Peter's passing. I really have no words to express how sorry I am. We all know how beautiful of a person he was, inside and out. And even though his soul has passed on to heaven, he will always be with you. Your hearts will keep him alive through incredible memories shared by everyone. Rest In Peace uncle Peter, love you.

It is with great sadness that I heard of Peter's passing. My sincere condolences to Luanne and his family. Peter was a wonderful husband and father, always putting his family first, as was evidenced when I first met him many years ago. He handled his duties as Under Sheriff very seriously, making a point of treating everyone with respect, and encouraging all that had slipped through the cracks to rehabilitate and make the best of their lives.

He was a fellow Rotarian who respected the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self" in many ways throughout the community. Though he passed, all too soon, his contributions to the Putnam Community will be remembered.
