I am still laughing thinking of his mother making fur boots and loincloths. Too funny!!I am grateful for the family's willingness to share these stories with us. It is making it seem as if he is with us. Well, in Spirit he is!! Just watched the Black No. 1 video. Loved how Peter played the bass. it was the 1st song I ever heard of Type O Negative, 4 years ago!! Wish I had known more earlier, but, I can see these tributes, videos and loving testimonies and it makes me happy. Thank you, Ratajczyk family!! I am deeply touched by your openess to sharing.Blessings on your family always!!charlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-81894353692044403212011-07-13T20:00:04.008-04:002011-07-13T20:00:04.008-04:00Thanks for posting this picture of you all.

I hope that each day brings you and the Ratajczyk family peace and comfort. Please know that he touched my life in so many positive ways. He was asked once how he would like to die and his response, " I don't know. It wouldn't really matter so long as I thought I'd made a difference in the world." I feel sure his music, sense of humor and personality made the difference. God knows, he did for me.Dotti M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-86896804489421664412011-04-22T20:57:44.896-04:002011-04-22T20:57:44.896-04:00the entire family is soo awesome and I miss Pete e...the entire family is soo awesome and I miss Pete everyday.

What a colourful and nurturing environment to grow up in. And how wonderful that Peter's parents were so open minded and supportive of everything he did, no matter how loud. The idea of Mrs Ratajczyk making loin cloth and fur boots had me in stitches. What a lovely lady and how proud she must have been of her boy. To imagine those hirsute post-apocalyptic metalheads in Mrs Ratajczyk's kitchen doing fittings for those stage costumes... too funny. thank you for sharing this with us, it is much appreciated.rutepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-63282158551964347562011-04-17T21:42:35.412-04:002011-04-17T21:42:35.412-04:00Oh my god, and you're all beautiful too.
