I met Peter about 8 years ago, after I had returned to school. I would bring my studies to the Chase's counter in the morning, after getting kids to school, and Peter (and the rest of the counter crew) was often there. What a wonderful man Peter was. Gruff and grumpy in a sort of pretend way that was absolutely endearing. He was real, and could talk intelligently on almost any subject; he had done so many interesting things, that there was never a lack of conversation there at the counter. I miss his laugh, his stories, his joking, and his cozy manner; I miss being able to talk to him and hear his rational, thoughtful responses. I miss seeing him for coffee and breakfast so much. Chase's doesn't feel right without him there, having his yogurt and fruit. Sending condolences to his siblings. Your brother was someone beloved by many and extremely special.
