His selflessness and civic spirit left a lasting imprint on all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Outside of his professional and civic duties, Peter found joy in life’s simple pleasures.

He found solace in playing guitar, enjoyed spending time with his animals, and relished being with his family.
