God must have needed another special Angel. Peter , I know you found your Peace. my Prayers are with the family, remember all the good times. Blessings
My deepest condolences. Peter was an amazing boss and an even more incredible friend/mentor. He taught me so many things that have stuck with me throughout my adult life. It's been over 15 years since I worked for him yet he still comes up in my conversations to this day. He was the epitome of a family man and always stood up for what he knew was right. The Mcginley Family is filled with love and this is because of the values Peter and Melissa instilled. I will forever miss you, Chef.
Our sincerest condolences from the Ryan family. We are so incredibly sorry for your loss and remember the good times we had with your family. Sending lots of love and good wishes your way.
From waaaay back at The Hotel Niko in Chicago (where I was a retained consultant) ... I identified Chef Peter’s intense culinary and leadership skills. But - more importantly ... his character. It was for the latter, that I ultimately recruited Peter to accept the Executive Chef position at Exmoor Country Club (as then GM) where he excelled and literally “turned the club around” toward consistent ala Carte and banquet execution level that were previously unknown. Peter was a very fine Chef, a fine family man ... and, a fellow follower of a Jesus.
To Pete's entire family: Please accept my sincere sympathies on your loss. I remember Pete was always so kind. It warms my heart to know that he had/has a relationship with our Heavenly Father. God's blessings to you and peace be with you.
