From all over the nation, former employees, colleagues and friends have posted dozens of tributes on legacy.com to honor Peter J. Kavalauskas, the 62-year-old Northeast Credit Union president/CEO, who died Feb. 8 in a snowmobile accident in Washington, N.H., just two days after he announced his plans to retire.

"I will never forget my first day as a teller that I waited on Peter at the main office. He was very gracious and just smiled as he handed it to me when I asked him for his ID, since I had no idea at that time who he was," wrote Doris Joaquin, who worked at NECU from 2003 to 2013. "He was a very down to earth guy and he will be greatly missed by all."

"Peter was a good person and a respected leader and colleague," wrote Denise Caristi, president/CEO of the $325 million Granite State Credit Union in Manchester, N.H. "Our hearts break with this sad news."
