Peter graduated from Ashwaubenon High School in 1976 and continued his education earning several degrees from UWGB and NWTC. Pete enjoyed cooking and sharing his masterpieces with family and friends. His favorite past time of all was fishing, fishing and more fishing! He treasured the time spent on the water "hammering the fish" with his twin brother, Perry, and sons, Jacob and Cole. He was happiest when he had a fishing pole in his hand. Smoking the fish was a family affair, which everyone enjoyed! Above all, Peter enjoyed his role as "Dad" taking pride in both of his boys. Peter looked forward to and enjoyed his special visits with Father Dave Kasperek and Chaplain Tom Turriff, the time spent with them helped him significantly during his illness.
