Peter is a Veteran of World War II where he served as a Corporal in the Army. He then went on to work at VanDiest Brothers as a foreman laying sewer lines for 43 years. Peter retired in 1986 and enjoyed spending time with his family, playing Bingo, going to Las Vegas and watching his great grandkids play baseball.
