“Uncle Peter always joked about being my ﾑgodfatherﾒ. He would do the perfect godfather voice and make me laugh every time! It was a running joke with us, but it couldnﾒt have been truer that I always knew when I needed him, he would be there. He was the most loving, caring and dedicated family man Iﾒve known and I feel so privileged that he was my uncle. I love him so much and will miss him deeply.”

“he was the best little brother i miss him everyday and wish i could have spent more time with him.David im sorry now is the time we all miss you ,i will never take for granted the time we have with family again.please forgive me that i was not there for you it breaks my heart it really does i wish you were here i love you ..”

“Gary, I love you... I miss you everyday, and I still cry.... Love Melba”

“Everyone sang American pie tonight. Happy birthday dad! Xo.”

“When I first met him, I always knew him as 'Gary, the only white guy at the bar'. Then I became really close friends with Kay who invited me over to her house where I saw 'Gary'. I said, "Hey Gary". Kay turned & said, "That's my dad!!" Oops, I didn't know Gary was her dad!! Filipino kids never call their friend's parents by their first name...just rude! So after that, I either called uncle Gary, He was also pretty calm when Kay told him about being pregnant. He was so awesome!”
