Uncle Peter

Hot 2481 views. 2022-1-2 07:07

Uncle Peter is a navy radiologist veteran and a complete computer geek. We all love him; he is the gentlest and kindest soul we have ever known. He devotes his life to God since he was a young boy, and he cares for everyone. He spent over 20 years in the navy and he is very proud of the fact that he served his country. He has a routine to go to church every day for mass no matter rain or shine, he even does that when he travels elsewhere, and he also enjoys two walks daily.

 

Uncle Peter is a gentleman who has never raised his voice and he is very polite. He always has changes in his pocket to spare for the homeless, and he is always ready to help if you need any. 5 years ago, when I was visiting him, I witnessed him did 30 pushups a day for 10 days straight to honor the fallen soldiers, at the age of 70. He also created and operates a website for a non-profit’s organization.

 

Uncle Peter is a person you would find him always learning. He learned to play guitar at his 60s, and he excels at it. He’s strong suit is computer stuff (hardware and software), and he fixes computers for companies, friends, neighbors, and family. He signs himself up for computer related classes all the time, and he just graduated from a 2 years online computer coding and data program last year, at the age of 75. His love and dedication for computer stuff is at another level.

 

Uncle Peter is such an inspiration, and I wish I have half of his perseverance.
