Peter was previously employed by Pocono Gardens Lodge for 15 years where he was recognized as emplyee of the month for his hard work, loyalty, and dedication. Most recently, he was employed for over 20 years by Arlington Industries, Scranton. He was of the protestant faith.
Always known to be early, Peter was a hard and reliable worker. He enjoyed holiday dinners with his family, and having his family surround him to celebrate his birthday was the highlight of his year.

Always a giving person, Peter made sure that even after his passing someone would be helped by being an organ donor.
