    He hung himself. His wife divorced him for cheating, he got evicted from his house after the wife and kids moved out, his daughters hated him, his company was in a down spiral plus other financial troubles. The list could go on I believe..

    I believe your right.

    What a shame that someone can't reach one in distress such as this to help them through.

    Hanging one's self is a very drastic move.

    Very sorry to hear.

    He wasn't divorced. Just separated. He is from New Zealand, as I am. I've known him for 27 years. My family allover the World is very sad about this.

    He is survived by a wife and three children. Everyone has hard times. Sorry that they got the best of him. There were also very good times. Peter was a smart guy, he picked himself up many times through his life. So it is with great shock that this news reached us.

    Marie is wonderful, amazing, beautiful on the inside and out , and her pain cannot be imagined. This is a very hard time for her. She has lost her companion of 22 years. She had left him, but it doesnt mean that she isn't devastated. Now she has to pull out all her strength to get through this very hard time.

    Those who knew Peter know that he was the ultimate optimist. When he first arrived in the U.S. he stayed with my parents for a while. He didnt come here with a million dollars in his back pocket,Peter built all he had from the ground up, and its very sad to see that tumble down.

    Please keep your words kind in our time of grief.
