A big THANK YOU to all of the family for sharing all these wonderful stories with us - Peter was really blessed with a family like this. Please keep telling us these wonderful stories - this is something so precious and beautiful. He gave so much to us the fans - amazing, unique, unforgettable - each day I am impressed and touched again when listening to his music - it's incredible. Thank you & all the best to all of the family.

No one could ever be, sing or fill Peter s amazing unique vocal range. His creative side, brilliance and artistic spin on everything he touched. I hope all musicians feel encouraged to play an instrument with passion, my son has been touched by an angel who gave him- a role model, one who represents the free human spirit to laugh, to love and to be better than the average. If he never sings or plays like him thats ok with me, if he is a fraction of Peter's humanitarian traits then I am truly blessed with the best son ever!tara St. Ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-717909462074183792011-05-03T14:47:19.763-04:002011-05-03T14:47:19.763-04:00That was very touching.

Peter was indeed a true original, with a heart as great as his talent and never afraid to be his own genuine, uncompromising self. You and your family honour us greatly with all that you share, while celebrating the life and qualities of your extraordinary brother/uncle. His fans find great joy and comfort in this blog and I only hope you all do too. My best wishes and warm, healing thoughts are with you and your family.rutepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785167261103012885.post-69104738787195821872011-05-02T22:04:56.694-04:002011-05-02T22:04:56.694-04:00Tara that was so moving.

A very proud moment for me cause no one pushed Pete he always did the pushing. LOL<br />I remember his feet being green and thinking he would be the Jolly Green Giant all because of me.

I know now that Peter is happy now; singing and playing bass with the angels (perhaps him and Ronnie James Dio are sharing vox duties)! I cannot imagine what its like to have such a wonderful person taken from you at such a young age. I hope it comforts you and your family to know that SO many people cared about Pete; he touched many lives, including mine.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160687416089216287noreply@blogger.com
