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
Livingston County as a volunteer subsequently holding various positions
within the organization.
His quick wit and sense of humor prevailed during life's obstacles and
will be missed by many.
