You are one of a kind bud. Really missed the poker nights.

I am proud to have known him, to have called him a friend, and to have worked with him at LookSmart. He taught me things that matter a great deal today, 11 years later. I value and cherish the memories of him and the joy he brought to so many who knew him.

There are so many things about this man that I want to share. He was an exceptional person in every way. We worked together at Foote, Cone and Belding and then again at LookSmart. He was a phenom with a personality you wouldn't believe. He defined charisma.

First day on Fort Lewis. He reached out to me, invited me to hang out. But that's how he was. Friendly, and just plain cool. We became friends. We went hiking, watched movies, drank beers, and talked about cars and bikes. He was a down to earth guy, and a great friend. Peter was a great American, and laid down his life for his country. That's what he cared about most, serving his country and making a difference. I miss you brother.

He could solve any problem you put before him. An inspirational soldier that always brightened my day. He always had a joke or witty remark to lighten the mood. The men loved him and so did I. I was proud to be his commander and friend. I am sad that he was taken from us, but am consoled by knowing he is with the Lord. Rest in peace Peter.

We would somtimes have Wednesday night Bible study class, and after study Peter would pull out the red, white and blue chips and a deck of cards and teach us how to play poker. For me, that's a perfect memory.
