Peter was a solitary man who loved nature, photography, history of the area, and animals, especially German Shepherds. It was well known that he could talk the ear off a tick if the subject interested him. He served in the US Navy. He graduated from the CCC Police Academy; worked for Chemung County animal control, Corning Inc., Chemung County Sheriff's Office at the Chemung County Jail; the West Elmira Police Department, and Schweizer Aircraft. He was meticulous and detail oriented. His best friend was his German Shepherd, Boeing, who predeceased him. Boeing was very intelligent, and Peter was an amazing animal trainer.
