Not sure what to say?

Just heard about your loss. Peter was like another brother to me. I will miss him and his sense of humour. I was just thinking about him the other day. I remember the good time we had years ago when I stayed on my way to my Alaskan Cruise.
Take care Rita. I will write soon.

Our deepest sympathy. We will miss sharing the Grand Marnier with Peter. He was truly a great guy and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Our love to you Rita.

Intelligent, articulate, hard-working, wicked sense of humour, music lover, fun guy and gone too soon. Peter will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. We are thinking of you, Rita.

"Pilots are plane people with a special air about them". This bumper sticker is in his and Rita's home and it struck me as being so true for Peter. I knew him only a short time and was impressed with his passion for the things he truly cared about. It was privilege to know him. Thanks for touching my life, Peter.

Peter was a great person and an excellent Commanding Officer to work with and serve under.

Peter,
Gonna miss you and your humour. You always knew how to show everyone how to have a great time. The late hours we kept at the Sherman Armoury will always be cherished and the final drink of grand marnier ("Nectar of the Gods") will always means something special for me. You and Patrick O'Sullivan are the two best CO's that I had the privelege of serving under. Your guidance and your ability to listen will be missed. God speed. Derrick

Peter was a very dedicated individual who worked hard to see changes in Canada's political landscape. His passions encouraged others to follow his lead. A true leader. He will be missed.

Words cannot begin to describe the shock I felt when I heard of Peter's passing on the weekend. I had the pleasure of both meeting and working with Peter during the last federal election campaign, which was one of the most enjoyable campaigns I have had the chance to work on.

Peter was definately a 25 year old caught in a 62 year old body. Some of the stories he shared with me showed both his sense of adventure and the pride he had in his accomplishments. The one thing he spoke most...
