Your family is in our thoughts during this difficult time. Although words can’t do anything to alleviate the pain of loss, I hope memories ease it. My favorite memory of Mr. Prehoda was the time he snuck out to Brian’s BMW and put a Porche Club of America sticker on it. Always a prankster and up for a good laugh. God bless.
Sorry to hear of your loss Deb.

We are sorry about your loss… I grew up next door to Peter’s grandparents. It was a duplex house, my grandfather and Peter’s grandfather were brother’s. My grandmother and Peter’s grandmother were sisters. I knew Peter’s father and mother very well, also his aunts and uncle’s. Again, sincere condolences.
debbie and family…shocked and so sad to learn of cousin Peter’s death in the newspaper; he was so much to his parents and Aunt Mamie; though I did not meet with him often we did share family holidays and i will remember them always. he was 1 week older than my brother. he is the first of our generation to …… thinking of all of you,
cousin trudie …
Debbie and children – As first cousins to your dad and husband, my sister, Trudie, and brother, Jerry, and I spent many many of our holidays as children sitting around our grandmother’s table at 33 Park Avenue talking and joking with Peter. He and his dad were the worst of the teasers. He will always stay in my memory as the thoughtful and sensitive man that he grew into through the years. He was the namesake of both our Great Grandfather Peter Prehoda and our Grand Uncle Peter who died in WWII at the Battle of Anzio, and, as such, he was very special to our grandmother and Aunt Mamie and our mom, Aunt Verna. My thoughts are with you at this time.
