"He was one of my best friends on the planet even though I am one old MF. I know my family and I would love to post a message to all of you, especially Big Daddy about how much you all and this sport meant to him. He told his Nonnie a month or so ago," Nonnie I really love this and I am really good at this. " I and his Nonnie ( grandmother), and the rest of us that loved this boy beyond belief, know he skated right on in with a big smile. Thanks for all your considerate thoughts towards my sister( his Mom and real best friend) Janet. Aloha for now"

"I met Peter (and Nick) at this summer's US Nationals slalom race in Morro Bay. They were both super-stoked on skating and seemed like really cool, down-to-earth young guys--no tough-guy attitude, just a couple of normal, friendly kids.
I think they also both went to the next weekend's event in Hood River, Oregon. Both were relatively new to slalom, and I remember the curiosity and excitement in their voices as I overheard them talking about how to adjust to what were pretty difficult courses to ride. I heard nothing but stoke and encouragement, along with the sort of playful trash-talking that only true friends can get away with. Their enthusiasm was really refreshing."
-JBH "I first met Peter at the Oregon State Games where I had the pleasure racing head-to-head with him twice through the slalomcross. Then I saw him again at the Hood River race.
I was very impressed with his friendliness, his maturity, and his future potential."
- Pchewn "i got the chance to skate with peter multiple times at bolinas i remember before this happened all his stoke and respect for people that knew more then him. it was amazing to see such a young kid be willing to listen to others that new more"
-MurphyD "peter... would always come down to the bay area and skate with us locals, i hung out with him when he was down here to skate and at some local outlaws, probably one of the nicest kids I've ever had the privilege to meet."
