Peter Gladhart with Luciano in the vineyard at Winter's Hill estate

In the past few days, my family has been comforted by many kind words from those who knew Peter and remember him fondly. Peter, with my mother Emily, led a full and varied life together in Ecuador, New York, Michigan and Oregon. In each new home, they made close friends and volunteered their time and talents to improve their community.

Donating in Peter’s Memory

Peter was always optimistic and looking forward to a better future. In that spirit of optimism and generosity our family will be making a donation to Heifer Project International, and we hope you will join us in donating in Peter’s memory.

To learn more about Peter and Emily’s work with the Peace Corp and Heifer Project in Ecuador, please follow the link to Facebook where a dear family friend has posted many photos (when they were young and beautiful) and a remembrance in both Spanish and English.

Again, thank you on behalf of myself and our family.
