Oakland fire victim Peter Wadsworth was ‘like a brother’

OAKLAND (AP) — Peter Wadsworth, 38, was like family to his friend Tammy Tasoff.

Wadsworth looked out for her, doing little things that made her life easier. He would organize her messy files, give her advice and fix her computer if she needed help, said Tasoff, a dental student.

He bought video games because he knew she loved them, and he would often watch her play, she said.

“Usually he’d say, ‘Let’s play video games,’ and then he’d say, ‘No, I just want to watch you play,'” she said, sobbing. “He’d make me food. He took really good care of me. He was like my big brother.”
