Peter Ballesty 4 2000. Then he went on to attend SUNY Oswego earning a BA in Creative Writing in 2004. The family says he will be remembered by all as a kind, soft-spoken soul who viewed life differently than most. His art, music, and writing reflected a kind nature benefitting a man of peace. And Judge Martinelli and I agree with that wholeheartedly. So, we will miss Peter and just want to send out our shared sadness to his family, and ask that we all take a moment of silence at this time in memory of him and for his family's loss. (Whereupon there was a moment of silence.) THE COURT: Thank you, we will now commence the calendar in Peter's name.
