Also surviving is his faithful companion, Patience. Peter was predeceased by his parents; Leo & Victoria and twin brother, Paul. Peter retired from the City of Rochester as a Lieutenant on the Rochester Fire Department. He took pride in his profession having received commendations for his quick thinking and thoroughness. Prior to the Rochester Fire Department, he was a Rochester Police Officer. Throughout his life he was a motorcycle enthusiast having raced motorcycles and road riding. In the early 70's he owned and operated Echo Valley Speedway (a motocross track) in Conesus, N.Y. He also enjoyed snowmobiling, flying his plane, hunting and landscaping his property. He loved reading, crossword puzzles, playing cards, football and Nascar. His love of animals brought him to the Humane Society of Livingston County as a volunteer subsequently holding various positions within the organization. His quick wit and sense of humor prevailed during life's obstacles and will be missed by many. Services will be held at the convenience of the family. Ref.
