In addition to his love of the water, Peter enjoyed dinners with close friends and family as well as photography.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Shu-Chi Hsu (father) and Yat Mui Chan (mother). He is survived by Betty Hsu, his son, Christopher Hsu, MD, daughter-in-law, Julie, and granddaughter, Alexis.
