Not sure what to say?

It is 12/3/2024 and I just found out Peter is no longer with us. He was one of the first people I knew when I first moved to LA and we had fantastic times together. In the picture, he was just about to record me & Carrie Hamilton (Carol Burnett's late daughter) and capture an extremely special performance. I am including a link to the song in Peter's memory because this would not have happened if not for him. https://soundcloud.com/lesjuly/niyah-carrie-hamilton-les-july

Hello. I enjoy your roles in the "Ghostbusters" film, especially "Ghostbusters: Afterlife". Nevertheless, have faith in God.

The day of Peter’s mother funeral, Peter sat with my service dog at the back of the church. Peter said he felt more comfortable with us then anyone else. Citori our dog took to Peter right away. God Bless you Peter now in heaven with your mom and dad. Love Paddy and Brian Nolan (Citori)

Sincere sympathies to the Aykroyd family, truly sorry for your loss. May God be with you all to help you to get through this very difficult time.

I met Peter briefly in 1999 at the House of Blues in L.A. He and his brother, Dan, were very hospitable and generous. I found Peter to be an interesting fellow human being and I thank him for introducing me to Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal.
I am sorry for the family's loss and I wish that their fond memories will bring them some peace at this sad time.

I have been a follower of Saturday Night Live since it's inception and my heart goes out to the Aykroyd family at the loss of their loved one

I dated Peter in the 80’s , he was very funny, intelligent , and kind. Extremely talented , creative and a bit off the wall . May he Rest In Peace .

Thanks for the memories and laughter.

When a person dies it affects all that knew him or her. However it also affects all people who know him or her as well , because we are all connected as one.
