Peter was a well liked regular at LA Fitness in Greenwood, and we will miss bantering with him regarding politics, EU Brexit votes, the origins of Endress coming to Greenwood, and in general Peters always pleasurable demeanor! I wish I had known him much earlier in his life. -Trent
I am so sorry to hear this! Family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers! Jennifer Sabean
I am going to really miss you, my dear friend! We have had so many conversations throughout the years that I will never forget. I looked forward to talking to you and sharing our love of being parents and the battles that came with it! We would laugh at their every day schedules, including the long hour drives for practices on the weekends and the worries about our girls being so beautiful! When you talked about Eva and Christian your eyes would light up and you always had the biggest smile. My heart hurts so much for them and my prayers are with them and Lisa. Until we meet again, you will always be in my heart.
With loving memories of “Hans Blaser”,
