I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Peter. I am a sales consultant that has serviced Toyota of Wilmington for quite some time. I first met Peter in the intenet department at the dealership almost 8 years ago. I quickly bonded with his attitude on life and passion for the car business. We had much in common. When I heard the news I were shocked and extremely upset. I am sorry for your loss and will miss Peter. He was a kind and compassionate man. He will be with my prayers.
