A terrible tragedy for the people of Nassau County. Peter was a passionate advocate for effective and limited government and a tireless worker for the interests of his constituents in the 12th Legislative District. He pulled no punches and you knew exactly where he stood, with clear positions based on principle, not politics. More importantly, however, he was a loving husband and father and a great friend to many. He will be sorely missed.
