I was sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. He was a quiet man with few words and always smiling. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Aunty Aimee, family and extended family. Condolences on the passing of Uncle Peter. I remember him from as young as I was going to market with my dad, and him catching up with Uncle Peter about how your family was. He told me more recently that the 20+ years after retirement had been the best years of his life. I’ll always remember him to be a gentle, kind, and loving man of great intelligence, inquisitiveness and integrity, that has influenced and blessed many people in his life and continues to live through you all.

Roger and Megan Chang

I just wanted to let the family know that I am so very sorry that Uncle is no longer with us – but I am so very proud to have been able to call him, and you, family.

You are all very special to me, and I have done my best to impress upon my family, how important it is to have strong familial ties. Uncle Peter left me a part of his legacy and I loved visiting you all growing up. I recognize how important it is to put family together, if only to have them all spread that same legacy and memory across the world.

Love always,
Roger Chang (Megan, Isaac, Miles and Lily)
