DEAR KIM AND FAMILY:
I HAVE RANSACKED THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND FIND MYSELF STILL AT A LOSS FOR WORDS OVER THIS TRAGEDY AND WILL FOREVER BE INCAPABLE OF TELLING YOU ALL HOW I FEEL EXCEPT TO SAY THAT I AM TRULY SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS.

Dear Einstein Family,
I knew Peter and Jill when we were kids stationed at Sheppard AFB, Tx. I will never forget when the Rabbi came to Col Einstein's to discuss Peter's bar mitzvah. It was Christmas time and the family actually had an aluminum Christmas tree up. Mrs. Einstein quickly hid it in the master bathroom. She also would fry bacon when I stayed over night.
I have been trying to locate Jill to see how her life turned out. Believe she is in New England area.
I am so sorry for the loss of Peter at such a young age. I also see Col. Einstein has passed as well. He took us to the Nutcracker Ballet and Officers Club where I had my first shrimp cocktail at age of 11!

Dear Einstein family, I am so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Einstein. In 1989 my husband and I had a baby girl with Down Syndrome, and she also had VSD(hole between the bottom 2 chambers of her heart). When she, her name is Bliss, was 8 1/2 months old, Dr. Einstein did her surgery. My husband was in the Navy, and we were young, and he was so kind to us! Bliss is 22 years old now, and is the joy of our life!! Many times I have thought of Dr. Einstein and thanked God that he was so skilled as she has never had any further problems! I just happened to be thinking of him today, and thought I would "look him up" and possibly send him a note. So, so sorry for your loss! Julie Jones

I was shocked and saddened to learn, albeit so belatedly, that Peter is gone. I have great memories of Peter that go back to senior year in high school. He was brilliant and charming. It is wonderful to learn about his many accomplishments and contributions and to see how important he was to so many. This is not a surprise to me. Sending my heartfelt condolences to you all.

When my daughter was born in 1990 with a serious heart defect, Dr. Einstein performed surgery on her when she was just a few days old. I remember him sleeping in a chair at her bedside several nights when she was so critical. God sent Dr. Einstein to us as an angel to care for Cali. I am so saddened to hear of his death.

Dearest Kim,
I did not know your dear husband, but I remember you so well as a vibrant, energetic, and dynamic child and young woman. I knew any husband you chose would be very special. You and your family are in my heart and prayers. Your former nanny/babysitter.

We were shocked to hear today of the passing of Dr. Peter Einstein.
We knew his as a teenager and later as an accomplished doctor, a caring father and with a great sense of humor. Our heart-felt condolence to the entire family.

I believe this must be the Peter Einstein I met at Lincoln Farm in Roscoe, NY. in '69, '70. We were both counselors there. I recently thought of him and went to 'google' to see what wonderful accomplishments he had made in the last 39 years since I saw him. I was deeply saddened to read he had passed in September. I will always remember how kind he was. I specifically remember an incident that happened at camp. I made an unpopular decision to 'snitch' on a few campers who were doing something they shouldn't. The result was that they were expelled from camp, I was looked down upon by both campers and counselors alike. Peter came up to me and said something entirely thoughtful and gave me the thought that my decision was not at all without merit. I felt so much better. Great guy!

I learned of Peter's passing just today. I didn't know Peter very well. I knew him and Jill during my high school years. Although that's a long time ago, I remember vividly Peter's energy, optimism and charm. I am saddened to hear of his loss and wish you my sincerest condolences.

Dear Kim, Jesse,Eric,Tracy and Lisa,
Peter truly was a special person. His deep concern for me and especially Molly and Bobby while their father was dying is something I will never forget. The genuine concern he had for us was an enormous comfort to me during a really difficult time. He continued to inquire about the kids and offered some wonderful advice and suggested readings but it was his amazing empathy that really lightened my burden every time I spoke to him. I feel honored knowing your family and Peter will always be a light in my heart.

You could always tell that his children were his pride and joy.
We will remember Peter for his excellent dancing at Jesse's bar mitzvah.

Dear Kim, Tracy, Lisa, Eric and Jesse
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Peter's sudden death. Although he was an outstanding doctor and researcher, our memories of him will always be of a warm and nurturing father. Peter's dedication to his children was evident as his eyes would light up when talking about his family. Despite his busy schedule, he always had time to chauffeur his children, so that they might enjoy every possible experience open to them. He will be missed by many.
Our thoughts are with you.

He has left a long and lasting legacy of caring for others.

Dear Kim, Eric, Jesse, Tracey and Lisa,
Peter was such a wonderful husband, father and friend.
some of our fondest memories are attending the kids concerts at school, with the signs posted " NO video or photos allowed" and seeing in the audience this little red video light blinking and there was Peter, proudly taping every precious moment of his children's performances.
I also remember celebrating Jaro's birthday with friends and family and Peter in his usual fashion, sleeves rolled up, his arm around his loving wife and enjoying his rare time out alone with Kim.
We hold on to those wonderful visions of Peter after camp driving away in his van with duffle bags tied down on the roof. Taking road trips with the girls and the van filled with Cosco boxes of peanut butter, apples and bagels for the trip.
Peter was a wonderful friend to our family and mentor for our girls
Love and kisses forever

We were so sad to hear of Peter's recent passing. Although it has been a number of years since you left Solel, I still remember all of you quite fondly. Chris and I remember Peter's pride in his family, his willngness to always talk to me when I was teaching Eric, Lisa and Tracy and his kind and generous disposition. Our thoughts and wishes, and the wishes of many Solel members, are with you at this time. Peter's memory will always be a blessing.

Dear Kim,
The news of Peter's death is so unbearable. I'm so sorry. It is impossible for me to describe just how deeply our family was touched by Peter's care and concern for Susan while she struggled with her disease. Peter was always our light. My heart is broken to know that he is gone.
Blessings to you and your family,

Dear Kim:
I am deeply sorry about your sudden loss. There are some things in life that are inexplicable and beyond our comprehension.
When I heard the tragic news of Peter's passing from my cousin, Bennette, who has always been like an older sister to me, I immediately recalled that beautiful October weekend many years ago amidst the brilliant fall foilage (it seems like yesterday) when my family and I attended your wedding. That fall weekend will forever be etched in my memory as will your memory of your dear husband, Peter, which in the end will always sustain you.
Goethe once wrote, "those with memories need never despair," and as time moves on as it surely will that and that alone will sustain you in the days to come.
Please remember me to all your family and especially your wonderful mother and father.
Cousin, Henry Wynn

Dear Kim, Jesse, Eric, Tracy and Lisa,
I cannot begin to tell you how devastated I am after hearing the tragic news about Peter today. My heart and thoughts go out to all of you in this time of sorrow and pain.
Take solace in knowing that in spite of all his numerous accomplishments throughout his life, his family was always his first love.
I consider myself blessed to have known Peter, even for such a relatively short period of time. He made a profound impact on my views of life and humanity through his acts of kindness and generosity.
My sincerest condolences!
September 25, 2008
Dear Kim, Tracey, Lisa, Jesse and Eric,
We just heard the unexpected and tragic news. What a huge and untimely loss. Though far away, our thoughts are of and with you at this sad time. I know that Peter was so proud of you - for who you are, your many gifts and talents, and your humanity. May you gather strength from each others and those around you who care deeply.

Tracy and Lisa,
Our hearts break with your pain.
I remember once watching from the dark doorway as I was picking Sam up from a bar mitzvah, as was your dad, and while I was trying to be invisable, your dad saw you both dancing and he couldn't resist going onto the dance floor (who was that madman in street clothes?)...he grabbed the moment to swing you girls around, and the love and joy he felt dancing with you was felt by everyone!
Though I had only just met him, that image will be with me forever as an example of how to really live your life. He knew what life was really all about, and I was gratefull for the lesson.

I am saddened by your sudden loss. While I didn't know Peter well, in my few meetings with him I was impressed with his love and passion for his family, his sense of humour and warmth and his enthusiasm for his precious children.
I hope that you will find comfort in his memory and his legacy of compassion.
My thoughts are with you.

Dear Eric, Lisa and Tracy,
My thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this sad time. Your father will always be remembered for his outstanding contributions to the world through his work. But I'm sure the thing he most valued and was the most proud of was your family. I remember talking to your Dad for quite a while at Open House at CHS a couple years ago. His concern and care for you and your friends was something I wish every child could feel.
I lost my Dad to cancer when he was 47. I understand your loss. Although our Dads left us too soon, they had time to give us so much of who we are and who we become.
I hope the memories you share and the support from all the people who love you help you through this hard time. You are very much in my thoughts.

Our hearts are heavy and our thoughts are with you. Peter has touched the lives of so many, including our family. He was such an inspiration as a dad and a human being -- always ready to listen to both kids and adults, always eager to learn about our latest adventures, always humble about his own great accomplishments, and always parked outside in the van waiting with a smile (or dozing!).
We will think of him often.
Please remember our home is your home.
Love the Eisens (Leora, Rob, Jaime and Lauren)
