Peter so unerwarteter Tod hat uns schockiert und sehr traurig gemacht. Wir werden Peters grosse Offenheit, seine ausserordentlich zuvorkommende Art und sein charakteristisches Lächeln in allerbester Erinnerung behalten. Als Neuankommende in Tirana habe ich viel von Peter und seinem breiten Wissen gelernt und habe seine grosse Hilfsbereitschaft sehr geschätzt. Und es würde noch so viel Positives über ihn zu sagen geben ! Wir wünschen seiner Frau Andrea und den Töchtern in dieser schwierigen Situation alles Gute, viel Kraft und Zuversicht.
