Henny and family,
We were so very sad to read of Peter’s passing. We extend our sincere condolences on your loss.
Peter was our painter a few years ago, doing some work in our home. He was a very kind, honest and genuine man. I enjoyed tremendously our coffee breaks together during those days. It was a very stressful time for us dealing with some family issues and Peter was very respectful and helpful at that time. I will always remember his kindness, and I feel grateful that I met him.
