My name is Lonny Wilder and Peter was a cousin of mine. I have been looking for him for many years, but unable to connect. Now, with the advancement of deeper diving search engines, I was able to come up with this unfortunate discovery of Peter´s passing five years ago. I am still looking for family members that may have been related to Peter. If anyone sees this post and has more information please reach out to me as I would love to learn more. Thank you very much.

Ich hatte 10 Jahre Gesangsunterricht bei Herrn Binder in Darmstadt. Er war ein absolut toller Mensch. Ich werde ihn nie vergessen.

I have just found this. Peter was an inspiration to me as a singer. His gifts were unique - his recording of Carmina Burana has in my opinion never been surpassed. Rest in peace.

My heart is heavy today, reading about the loss of this wonderful man. I met Peter in the Watermark Retirement Community while I was caring for my Aunt Lena. From the moment I met Peter I knew he was like no other. A talented opera singer, who traveled worldwide, was so accomplished, was loved by friends all around the world..but always had time to listen or give advise and much love to a little lady from South Philly who loved to cook. I brought him food often..he loved and appreciated it so much. I will never forget this kind & generous soul. I will remember & love you always Peter and always keep you close at heart. Rest in Peace my dear friend....Susan Mancini
