In boot camp, he met Jay Preston, Sanders, and Groves.

=== After the war ===
After receiving many awards, Peter Falk considered continuing his military career, but still retired. Returning to Tulsa, Peter continued his studies at the University.

In September 1954, a tragedy occurred in the family-Peter's wife Chloe fell ill with a serious illness, the treatment of which was unknown. The hospital was too expensive for the family's budget. Remembering his brother George, as well as Sanders and Jay Preston, Peter thought: "Why does fate always take away my most precious things?". Finding himself in a desperate situation, Peter turned to the mafia, from which he borrowed money to serve Chloe in the hospital. After a time, the mafia demanded from Peter to repay the debt, but he could not pay the debt in full and asked to postpone the return of the debt. Despite the fact that the mafia agreed to this, for unknown reasons, the mafia later changed its mind. The payment for the debt was Chloe's life, but Peter didn't know that. Assassins were dispatched. One day, two murderers, one of whom was armed with a silenced pistol, made their way into Chloe's room through a window. But they did not know that near the chamber was almost constantly Peter, who heard strange sounds from the chamber. Peter attacked the murderers with a knife and began to fight. During it, Peter fatally wounded the two, but was shot 5 times. The killers died as soon as the doctors arrived. Wounded Peter Falk doctors tried to save , but unfortunately they did not have time. On this day, October 13, 1954, Peter Falk died of bleeding. The mafia accepted Peter's death instead of Chloe's, so they didn't send any new killers. Chloe was subsequently cured.
