Not sure what to say?

Accept my condolences on Peter's death. Thirty years ago, Peter, John Whiteford and others formed a little company of friends in Iowa City. We worked together, drank together, studied, argued, but mostly laughed together. I had been thinking about those times recently as I made potato salad for a family dinner. We played competitive croquet games in Iowa City parks and always celebrated with a feast of summer foods. Food, laughter and great storytelling--that's what I'll always remember...

Bernadette, Diane & Roxie,
I am very sorry to hear of Peter's passing. It was a shock to me so I can only imagine how hard this is for you all. I am glad I saw him with Diane headed to the Philipsburg school reunion. He was funny and full of life. Duane enjoyed visiting with him (they had never met before) while Diane and I looked at quilts . Cherish your memories and photos. My love to you all.

Diane and family
I am so sorry at the loss of Peter. I have many fond memories of our times in Philipsburg. I am so glad I got to visit with Peter last summer.

Peter,
You are "through the looking glass" I know it will be everything you ever imagined it would be and you will be its greatest treasure as I will always treasure knowing you and never, ever forget you.

Bernadette, Diane and Roxie, It has been several years since Peter and I talked. He will always have a permanent place in my heart, history and memory.

I am so sorry,

Diane and family, I am so sorry for your lost. After reading about Peter's life, he will truely be missed by all who knew him. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

I worked in Murphy's in 1989 and had many long and interesting chats with Peter. I could say he was never short of a concept and had a great sense of humor to go with it. I'm happy to have met him again in October last (guess where?) when I visited Chicago with my wife.
A true gentleman!!

Tribute at Wrigley Field

I worked with Peter, who I only called Pedro, at Altheimer. We spent so many hours in WP laughing and talking about everything under the sun. I admired Peter's wit, his intelligence and his genuine character. I still have the cryptic postcards he would send to me, all written in French, which I don't speak. What a great guy he was!!! The last time I spoke to Peter was about a year ago, and he was still as sarcastic as ever. My condolences to all of Pedro's family.
