Anyone who worked with Peter knew he was gifted and brilliant. His pitch and his sense of humour I were always on point. I had the pleasure of his Mentorship alongside Cathy Young while in the female vocal group Savvy Café. I have so many fond memories singing beside his piano and creating beautiful harmonies. He left a positive mark on the world with his talents. He will be dearly missed. Sending love and prayers to all mourning his loss.

Peter, Victor, Lee and I, as The Sugar Shoppe, had many wonderful times in New York and elsewhere
in the late 60's. They remain some of the best times of my life. Peter was a mover and a shaker,
and a close friend. My very best wishes to his family.

Please accept my sincere condolences on Peter's death. I knew him back in our early theatre days in Toronto. We had many fun times in various productions including 'She Loves Me' at the Playhouse and just hanging out. Peter was a man of many talents and will be missed.
