• I was deeply sadden to hear of Peter's passing.I went to high school with Peter and bought my first set of tires from him. His honesty and caring for his customers where he worked always brought me back. Peter was always interested in what car I was building and seemed to take personal pride in helping me out with tire problems and selection. He will be missed. Peter has now retired to a place where it never rains on the golf course and the fish are always biting.
  
  All my best to his family.
