Peter felt the peace and beauty of being in and around water, whether that was in the lake at camp, the rivers in Wisconsin or the beaches on the Eastern Shore. Peter had a passions for sitting down with a good cup of coffee, playing Sudoku, "insanity workouts" and listening to his Lord of the Rings audio books.
