I'm very saddened to learn of Peter's passing. I was a student of his at Camosun in the mid 2000s and had the opportunity to take multiple courses with him, including a particularly memorable class where we travelled through Vietnam for three weeks.
He was intelligent, witty, humble and kind. And although we hadn't been in touch for years, the positive impression he left of on my life through his teachings and shared experience, will always be with me.
Thank you, Peter.

It is with shock and disbelief that I have learned today of Peter's passing. Peter was a highly respected colleague for many years who stood for justice and fairness in the world. His untimely departure reminds us of the transiency of our lives.

Peter exemplified the phrase "scholar and a gentleman" - I enjoyed chatting with him over the years, and remember his smile and wit. He was a principled man, raising a host of issues, whether in the classroom, or at a chairs´ meeting. He will be missed.

I was saddened to learn about the death of Peter. I first met Peter when he was Chair of the Pacific Rim Studies Program and I was hired to teach one of the program courses in 1989. During my time as an instructor of the program, Peter was always supportive of my professional activities. He was not just a colleague but a mentor to me. I learned a lot from his deep knowledge of the Asia Pacific region and his commitment to social and environmental justice. He will be dearly missed.

My sincere condolences to Peter's family & close friends. I had him for some courses in '78-'80 when I was at Camosun. He was an enthusiastic prof who always encouraged critical thinking. Although it was a long time ago now, I enjoyed those classes with him. And will always be grateful for his teachings. R.I.P.

Peter was one of my closest buddies on the Habonim workshop. I have kept him in my heart for all these years since 1965 , picked up where we left off when we saw each other since then, and his sudden passing leaves a Permanent lump in my throat. His memory will continue to bring me joy,and I wish that for all his loved ones

Peter was the best professor I had during my entire undergraduate studies. He inspired me to study Sociology which led to me majoring in Sociology at UVic. From what I knew of him he was a kind and gentle man. Sorry to hear of his passing. Condolences to the family.
