The community will miss Peter terribly. His smile, dedication and compassion for humanity, as well as his desire to see people successful, will be both missed and celebrated beyond his time here on Earth. Peter made it a point to help his fellow men and women, not out of pride but instead with a small quiet voice. This is the sign of a man that is genuine in the eyes of God. God bless you Peter, and all of his family as well.

I was one of Peter's childhood friends and neighbors in Berlin. He was much admired by the Class of "57."

My deepest condolences to his family and to his sister, Esther.

With sympathy,
