He will be greatly missed.

See oli vahva mees, keda me iialgi ei unusta.

U soku smo i neverujemo sta se desilo.
Nek mu je vecna slava!

Peter nautis igat päeva, igat kokkupuudet, igat sõprust nagu see oleks talle ülimalt tähtis..ja nii oligi. Ta saavutas ja elas läbi rohkem oma elu jooksul kui paljud kes elavad kõrgesse ikka iialgi saavutavad. Ta kunagi ei varjanud oma elurõõmu ja suurt armastust oma naise ja laste vastu, vastupidi ta väljendas armastust ja elulusti vabalt. Peter oli suurim naljahammas - ta huumori meel puudutas kõiki kellel temaga vähegi tegemist oli. Igaüks kes teda tundis teab jutustada mõnda anekdooti.
Minu ja mu vendadele peredega on Peter olnud kallis sõber sellest ajast kui me koos noortena laagris käisime. Oleme palju koos läbi elanud, on olnud au ja rõõm Peterit tunda. Mul praegu ei tule keegi teine meelde, kellega oleks nii palju saadud naerda üle aastate. Ei mahu mõistusse, et niivord elujõuline inimene on meie seast jarsku lahkunud..alles nad kolisid Saudist Kanadasse tagasi....Nii palju elus tehtud, nii palju veel tegemata....Hoiame südames sügaval Peteri armsaid poegi Jaani ja Tomast ja ta kallist naist Paulat... leinas langetame pead.

Oleme avanud Eestipangas mälestusfondi Peter ja Paula poegadele, lisan siinjuures andmed:
(a fund has been set up at the Toronto Estonian Credit Union for Peter and Paula's sons, Tomas and Jaan):
Peter Paunic Memorial Fund #12150-0

Ei tea, kas Peeter mootorratastel end kodusena tundis. Küllap ikka, teda tundes. Mingil põhjusel meenuvad Bob Segeri laulusõnad kui ma Peetrile mõtlen. Puudustunne on igatahes suur.

Roll me Away

Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw city
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didnt have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin

Roll, roll me away,
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of whats wrong and whats right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free

Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin' out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away,
Im gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',
Keep searchin' till I find whats right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
Well get it right
