My deepest heartfelt condolences to the Darrow family. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Peter and his lovely wife, Denise, at the Fighting Chance Gala. You could not help but to admire this beautiful, youthful and happy couple. I also admired the brotherly affection, devotion, admiration and respect that existed between Peter and his brother, Duncan. Although Peter is no longer with us, his memory will live on in our hearts. At the end of his life (after all his crowning...

I am deeply saddened by Peter's passing -I knew him professionally for many years as our paths crossed often on Latin American transactions. He was always a good sport in negotiations and brought a liveliness to complex business deals which made practicing law entertaining and worthwhile. He was a wonderful human being and his presence among all of us will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.

Carol and I were deeply saddened to receive here in Idaho the jarring news of Peter's passing. Peter and I were graduate students together at Trinity College, Oxford, in the early 1970s, and Peter was notable among the many delightful and colorful acquaintances that Carol and I made during those wonderful two years in England. Peter and I studied together, we rowed together, we laughed together, and we spent many a late night analyzing the compelling issues of the day. During those years...

You only needed to meet Peter once to know that he was special. He will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched, especially his loving wife Denise.

I met Peter while working in Mayer Brown, with his team, in 1999/2000. He was a true mentor, always thoughtful and considerate. I will always be grateful for the time I spent with him. My sincere condolences to his family and his friends.

Was deeply sorry and sad to learn of the death of Peter. Peter was a great lawyer and a loyal friend. I am grateful for his support and help in the early stages of my own legal career in Brazil. My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family!

My memories of Peter are as a devoted father. His son, Peter, and my son, Adam, were classmates as well as
chess and soccer teammates at The Browning School. Despite his incredibly demanding job, it seemed
that he always managed to carve out the time to cheer his son from the sidelines at Randall's Island or behind the ropes of the parents' section at national chess tournaments held in places like Knoxville, Peoria or Little Rock. One fond memory was the evening our sons played a...

Denise, I am so sorry about Peter, it has been hard for me to wrap my head around his leaving us so soon. I feel so lucky that I was able to have him as my step brother, for 40 years. I remember when my Mom married my step father Peter, that I was so excited to have two older step brothers in my life. I will always have the memories of him, he was a great guy, and full of life, and I am glad that you became part of his life.
I didn't realize that he watch American Idol, we would of had...

Peter V. Darrow was a fine man - kind, caring and generous with his time and talents.
I am blessed to have known and worked with him. We are all the richer for having known Peter. While he is no longer with us on this earthly plane, he will live on in our hearts and minds.
