Irrepressibly optimistic, unfailingly cheerful, and eternally inventive, Peder was truly one of a kind. It was my privilege to call you a friend and a bandmate. Godspeed, brother.

A truly gifted artist and musician, and an even more so gifted human being. What a unique way he connects with others. So glad to have met him. So glad to have feel his spirit in the world. Priceless memories from the 80's and beyond. Prayers and thoughts are with Tracy and Cyril. Prayers and thought are with Carl and Nancy, Gunnar, Cori, and the rest of his family.
