The following article is from the Charlotte Sun-Herald, Tuesday, January 8, 2008. I had the pleasure of knowing Peter and his gracious and kind wife, Evelyn. They both lived their lives by example, showing all who met them the best of humanity. Peter will be missed by anyone who has known him.

I have enjoyed sailing with their son, Nick and through him have gotten to know the family. They are products of their parents and people who it is my honor to call friends.
