Not sure what to say?

It has been too long since Peter and I had spoken and since we wrote JFK: The Case for Conspiracy in 1975. It was Peter who showed me that I could write and ours was the first of eight books for me. Thanks for our friendship and his generosity. He is missed. Best to his wonderful family.

Peter was a great friend and the best co-author. A generous man and a great family man as well. He is missed.

Though I knew Peter only casually through the dog run community, we once figured out that his sister-in-law Renate (nee Hanlein) and my mother Eleanor (nee Klein) were childhood friends. I will miss Peter's acerbic wit. I extend sincere condolences to his entire family.

We'll miss seeing him and the dogs in the park every day.

We met Peter through his nephew, David, our brother-in-law, and enjoyed our spirited political discussions with him. He was a unique and interesting man. We know his family will miss him but thankfully they have many vibrant and unforgettable memories of him.

Peter was a great guy and a great friend. We wrote JFK:The Case For Conspiracy together in 1975. It had been too many years since we spoke and I'll always regret it. My sincerest condolences to Alyne, Alexa and Justin.

I will miss Peter's witty recounting of history. He was a font of information about people, places and events--a who's who and how they were connected or involved with the building of New York City. Traveling with him was a joy and an eye-opener. He was the perfect dinner guest who never lacked for a good story. Rest now my friend.
