Ellen, this is Jerry Fleming writing from Paris. I was just checking SFGate and learned, sadly, of Peter's death. I remember him fondly, and send my most affectionate thoughts your way.

Peter was a good friend, and a unfailing counsel in times of legal difficulties. I'll always be grateful for his support, legal proficiency, and the sense of security he gave me in times of trouble. Cheers, Peter!

This closes a chapter on my life. Peter and I were law partners for fifteen years until his retirement from practice. Ours was a successful practice and formed a strong friendship. My heart goes out especially to Ellen. Peter was one of those people that I thought would live forever. He will, in our hearts and memories.
