Peter P. Carr

Peter's memory and spirit are still alive. When we encounter any Beatles' references, we think of Peter. I discovered an illustrated-colour drawing, poster size, of the Beatles' concert on the rooftop of Apple Corps. My husband and I thought of Peter and how he would have loved it framed and displayed in his home. We still remember Peter, his loves and interests, along with his impressive accomplishments to our friends and associates. His legacy lives on...

First time i was in touch with Peter when i have read about his variance gamma model. I sent him an email asking questions and he got back to me with the answers and matlab code. Later on I have met Peter a couple of times when i lived in New York. He organized financial seminars in the NYU. I always remember him as a very smart and caring person. I am so sorry to hear that he is no longer with us.

From his childhood in the leafy neighbourhood of Etobicoke, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, Peter was always a considerate individual and fun to be with. He grew up continuing that legacy as a caring, intelligent, inspirational leader and treated everyone equally. He represented the best in his field and was highly respected all over the world. My husband and I continue to keep Peter's spirit alive.

Peter was a great mentor. I will never forget his generous and kind heart. R.I.P.

Even though Peter graduated from Scarlett Hts. C.I. in 1977, I recently attended a 1976 SHCI reunion of about 30 people. The alumni I spoke with remembered Peter and one of them actually ran against him for Student Council Treasurer, but Peter won! Many alumni remembered Peter as being a brilliant student. I let them know just how far he went in his impressive career as being top in the world in financial engineering, quantitative finance, derivatives, and volatility. It was good to bring...

I am so sorry Carol and Olivia. So much time has passed. He set up the blind date at which I met my husband, Eric. I always thought we'd see you again, when life wasn't so crazy. I miss, miss, miss you. With Love Betty Ann Walker

The Italian community of people who had the fortune to work with him is missing him even more than last year. So, we decided to join our forces and brains to get at least part of the strength and innovation he was sharing with all of us. We will meet in Bologna to celebrate him with our research. It will be the first meeting of what we called the Peter Carr Chapter Italy that I hope will accompany our future academic and physical life. The PCCI is of course an open set just like Peter was the...

On March 1st, the one year anniversary of Peter's passing, my husband and I watched the memorial slide-show we created for Peter's Celebration of Life. In the past year we have mentioned Peter in our conversations... For example; "Peter would have loved that Beatles' Documentary"... or "Peter recommended that movie to us a while back". I am sure we all have our own way of remembering Peter and keeping his spirit alive.

Peter was a great inspiration. A source of new ideas and an incredible brain.
