Peter was a happy person with a pleasant smile.
He loved to laugh and enjoyed the company of others.
Peter liked looking at the pretty ladies in the magazines.
He loved the ladies and always said he had more than one girlfriend
and Amanda the Manager at the group home always told him he can't
have more than one girl friend at a time.
He loved parks and camping, movies and parties;
and he loved ice cream!
His favorite hobbies were crafts and coloring,
blue was his favorite color.

Peter enjoyed listening to music, singing, reading magazines, and dancing,
he would shake his tambourine and clap his hands to the music and
would shake his body to dance.
He would sit at the dining room table and listen to his music,
he would tap on the table and sing along.
He loved hymns and would always sing his favorite
"Yes, Jesus Loves Me".

Peter was the sole survivor of his family.
He was named after his dad and was loved by his family and friends.

He will be missed by his house mates and by the staff of The Arc Middlesex County.

Peter you will forever be in our hearts.
May you rest in Peace.
