Today we learned the sad news from Kari that Peter died this past summer. We were very sorry to hear of your loss, Gay, Betsy, Bill and Jan. We have wonderful memories of our times together with you, Gay and Pete, in Ann Arbor and here in Trondheim. Our thoughts are with you. Thank you for our time together, walks, talks, dinners and trips to Whole Foods. Love, Lisa and Finn

I'm very sad to read of Peter's death, Gay. He was a wonderful man and a good friend in the very old days at Adams House. My condolences and very good wishes to you and your family.

Though we never were in the U of M Math Department together, Peter and I were friends for many years in mathematics and in devotion to civil liberties. It was a pleasure to reconnect with him and Gay every year when I would come to Ann Arbor for the Academic Freedom Lecture. He was unwavering.

So sorry for your loss, Betsy. Hope to see you soon, even if only by Zoom,

my Deepest Sympathy To Gay and family, Keith Weiland
