I worked at The Worcester Telegram in the 60's and 70's, so I certainly knew Peter well. He was a gentleman and a hard worker. My deepest condolences to the family of Peter in your loss.

I was so sad to hear of Peter's passing. I missed him and our great conversations after his retirement from the T & G.

My deepest sympathies to the family; we have all lost a very good person, colleague and friend. Peter was a consummate professional as a reporter and certainly deserved all the respect he received from so many. One would be hard pressed to find a more classy individual. I consider myself lucky to have known and worked with Peter at the T&G for so many years.

Peter was ever professional, an elegant man who could cover any news story from business to politics to the arts. He represented our newspaper so very well. Always accurate, always honest, always fair. We newspaper folks were always proud to call him our colleague. Sympathies to his family.

Elisabeth & Family,
Peter will be greatly missed. He made this city, this community, this neighborhood (Tatnuck) a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time!

As he reported our triumphs and tribulations, Peter was a true friend of Worcester's cultural community. Always encouraging us to be better, more creative or more responsive, he rewarded and supported us with his good words. Rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
