A FAREWELL TO PETER
My dearest friend and dear colleague
Peter we liked to call you,
Thanks for reading Hellenic News of America
why you left us suddenly
is hard for us to tell you.
An eagle’s gaze in your eyes
with intellect and wisdom,
your heart was full of Greece
your yearning was for freedom.
You show us leadership
with honesty and pride,
you lead us to new avenues
the truth never to die.
A Civic leader of respect
difficult to compare,
well accomplished Scientist
your laughter never spare.
You loved your family and friends
your children and grandchildren,
you taught them to love Greece
and never to be hindered.
Your memory will be with us
never we will forget you,
we will miss you very dearly
we will never down let you!
