Add Your Remembrance

I took several classes with Peter up at MSU-Billings. We became good friends and would spend an evening here and there writing poetry and making art pieces for the Dead School Epitaph. I will never forget this wonderful man.

He made me feel as though I truly was an artist and a piece of art myself.

Much love and warm memories to his family. Peter, you made a wonderful impression on my life and will be forever missed.

Thinking of cousin Peter and how wonderfully he shared so much of himself in his arts newsletters.  He was a unique individual, and I so much appreciated him!  With love to Jonathan and the rest of the family, Dottie Swan Parrill

I miss my dear Cousin Peter's presence on the earth.  He made living easier for many.

With love to Jonathan and all Peter's family and friends, Martha Warren McKinney

Peter is like a Rembrandt, I shall smile upon his face and thumb forever. I too, will always love him. Crazy Man.
