I'm going to miss my friend Peter. He was one of the first friends I made when I moved to Milwaukee, and has been a good friend ever since.
One of his favorite sayings was, "What's more fun than fun?" That pretty much sums him up for me.

I have many fond memories of Peter’s life. The ski trips, Kentucky Derbies, lake outings, Brewer Tailgates, nights out and the business travel rolling out the BETAQuotes office locations. Peter always tried to find the positive side of things. One of my best memories was getting to enjoy the results of his cooking lobsters over an open fire during one of the Kentucky Derby trips. May God accept him with open arms.

Peter will be missed by us. We remember him to be kind and gentle, always with a smile on his face. We shared some tastes and grins as we worked to make BETA a successful company. I kidded him about his alter ego "spiderman", which he must of heard millions of times. He never complained, just took it in stride and smiled that Peter Parker grin of his.

So sorry to hear that Peter passed away at a young age. I have fond memories of him working conversions and meeting up with him at parties. He always called me Patty.Years ago when we were Kemper, if I had printer problem he would always be the one to come to resolve the issues. Peter will be missed.
