Irene Williams was my mother's sister. I met John Peter only once when he was a toddler. I became curious to find out about relatives that I have not had contact with and looked up John Peter's name, never expecting to see his obituary. I am sorry to hear of this and want to express my condolences despite the amount of time that has passed.
I worked with John at Safeway when John was a Produce Field Merchandisers here at Safeway Stores. When I first met John he was a Pak N Save merchandiser and at that time Safeway & Pak N Save merchandising was just a little different from Safeway. However with that being said John was great to work with, John’s merchandising ideas and hands on were very impressive to me. I remember John always laughing and joking with our merchandising team, during our re-sets and meetings. I will always remember John with his high energy along with ready to lend a helping hand when duty called. My fondest memory of John was him sharing his love for cars. Buick’s were his favorite Skylarks I think. One car I remember John driving was his very nice camaro he would drive some times to work & meetings. John knew all about cars & I remember how impressed I was with his knowledge with all makes & models. Over the years I have thought about John and hoped he was doing well. My prayers go out to John and his family. God Bless, Dennis Sawyer
