Joel Miller wrote a sympathy message

“I would like to express my sympathy to the Peters and Rinaldi family over their loss of this fine man. Growing up across the street from the Peters home allowed me to come into daily contact with Jimmy "Perks" Peters. He was the best of friends with my older brother Terry and Jimmy helped to make sure I made it through the day "safe & sound". His advice and guidance is something that I will always remember. Sincerely...Joel Miller”
