Peter was a World War II veteran, serving in the United States Army.

A devout member of Grace Evangelical Free Church, Peter's faith was an integral part of his life. He found solace and community within the congregation, cherishing the fellowship and spiritual guidance offered.

In addition to his faith and love for golf, Peter had a green thumb and a passion for gardening. He tended to his garden with care. His love for gardening was evident in the beauty and abundance of his harvests.
