Peter retired from the City of Rochester as a Lieutenant on the

received commendations for his quick thinking and thoroughness. Prior

to the Rochester Fire Department, he was a Rochester Police Officer.

Throughout his life he was a motorcycle enthusiast having raced

motorcycles and road riding. In the early 70's he owned and operated

Echo Valley Speedway (a motocross track) in Conesus, N.Y. He also

enjoyed snowmobiling, flying his plane, hunting and landscaping his

property. He loved reading, crossword puzzles, playing cards, football

and Nascar. His love of animals brought him to the Humane Society of

within the organization.

His quick wit and sense of humor prevailed during life's obstacles and

will be missed by many.
