From early failed marriage, a long-term engagement that he thought was forever- but ended badly and not only scarred him but influenced his music until he died- to casual short-term relationships and hook-ups, he just never seemed to find what he was looking for. But they weren’t wife-material. Unfortunately, Peter never was able to find “the one” to settle down with and start a family.

Plenty of groupies threw themselves at him, and it’s no secret that he enjoyed many one-night stands during his time on the road. His family, friends, and his neighbors loved him! Never mind his fans. Despite the tough exterior he was not an ogre, or a monster. He was generous to those around him, even to those he barely knew and often was taken advantage of. He was known for his love of his cats, who were like his children. His musical genius entranced so many people, and even 8 years after his Apdeath he has an enormous legion of fans who keep his music alive. He was a towering man with long “ Black #1” hair, and an impossibly deep voice. I assume you are here because you know that Peter was the front-man of the band Type O Negative. A person has been spreading untruths about the late Peter “Steele” Ratajczyk for years.
