My brother was the greatest big brother any person could ask for. I could always count on him any time of day or night. He would drop everything and anything he was doing to talk and take care of his brother. He was a gentle giant and he always protecting me. He was always proud of me and he was always encouraging. (Pete, I am sorry I broke the golf club over your head on purpose when I was 11! Thank you for never bringing it up again.) Peter was the best fishing campion anyone could ever ask for and I talked to him 5 times a day (even more than I called Phyllis). His words of wisdom carried me through life and they were always nonjudgmental. Even though he left us at 45 he is still my “wise old owl”. His battle was valiant. It was a tough run until the end. He was the toughest S.O.B I ever knew. It was brutal to witness because he did not want to go. Peter you are at peace now, that’s so I know. He loved Christmas so much and so did my Mom so when he left us on Christmas Eve it made so much sense. He celebrated the birth of Jesus with Mom yesterday and I can only imagine what a blast they had. I am at peace knowing that and was able to have a wonderful Christmas with my family as a result. Peter, I love you, I love you, I love you man. Until we meet again… Your Loving Little Brother, Taras
