Peter Chipouras RIP

One of the true gentlemen in the Stone Industry was tragically killed in an automobile accident on the way to Coverings. To those of us who knew Peter well, it cast a pall over the show. Peter grew up in the Stone (http://g603.net) industry and (http://maplered.com) for the last number of years he was in the financing end; Leasing Advantages and (http://maplered.com) Sterling Capital were two of his companies. He helped many, many firm get started and (http://maplered.com) expand (http://maplered.com) , always operating with the highest ethical stand (http://maplered.com) ards.

Peter left behind his wife Anne and (http://maplered.com) three children, Christopher, Katie and (http://maplered.com) Dana. The funeral was this past Saturday, but memorials may be made to Wilson House, P.O. Box 46, East Dorset, VT 05253, or the American Diabetes Association Memorial Program, P.O. Box 1132, Fairfax, Virginia 22038.

I will miss his humor, sincerity and (http://maplered.com) wise council.
