He was a devoted church member throughout his life and served as Deacon and Trustee to the Chinese Gospel Church in Philadelphia. Growing up near the ocean fostered a love for all things nautical and beach-related. Not only did he love trips to the beach, he also enjoyed fishing, crabbing, and boating. 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.
