In tribute

1 min read

To the editor:

Over the past three decades Breeze Newspapers has graciously published hundreds of letters written by Peter Stewart Hare. With a brilliant mind and sharp sense of humor, he submitted countless quotes about being in politics for over 20 years and comments on everything from the president to the Lee County School Board, taxes to Cape Coral City Council.

Peter S. was a force in the background of Lee County. He contributed to dozens of political campaigns, was the first president of the Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce and worked tirelessly as the president of the Mid-Point Bridge Coalition.

Sadly, he passed away Monday Nov. 15, at Hope Hospice. We write this letter as a tribute to the father, brother, husband, companion,and friend that he was to us and the campaigner, supporter and activist that he was to the community.

We would also like to take the opportunity to thank Hope Hospice for its caring and compassion during the last year. They are truly an organization that is amazing in every way.

While his voice is now silent, thanks to you, his printed words will live forever.
