Mrs. Pisano, I am sorry for your loss. He was my friend and neighbor and the world is little sadder without him.
Pop it’s been a rough couple of months, I hope you look down on us as we continue to deal with losing you and give all your loved ones hugs from heaven. I hope with your guidance from heaven we achieve the wishes you have shared with me for your children and grandchildren . May peace find each of them as they mourn your loss.
Mr. Peterman lived right up the road from me here on Benfields Landing and we had many lively conversations throughout the years. He was my favorite neighbor and one of the most affable people I have ever met. I never met his family but I want to extend my sympathies to them.
