Peter was a champion for historical preservation, and he was a member and served as Past President of the Historical Society of the Phoenixville Area. He was a supporter of the arts and had a fascination for architecture and nature, often attending lectures and nature tours. He loved collecting antiques, and, having been a member of the Post Card Club, had an admirable collection of postcards. Peter received his certificate as a master gardener from Penn State University, cultivated plants, and through his recycling and composting was conscientious of the world around us. He enjoyed vacationing in Canada at the family's cabin on Lake Weslemkoon and frequently took trips to Ocean City, NJ. He loved ice cream and enjoyed baking, cooking, and sharing recipes. He was also involved with the research of his family ancestry and genealogy. He was the master of a good deal and meticulously planned his yard sale and flea market excursions.
