Not sure what to say?

Deepest of sympathies from Our Family to Peter's family. We are all very very saddened to hear of his passing. What started out as a business relationship, turned into a deep friendship and I will never forget him! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I´ve toured properties he listed for years now and always enjoyed his blunt, direct demeanor. His sense of humor was highly evolved too, due no doubt to his deep understanding of human nature. We spoke on a Saturday some months back and he straight up asked me why I was in the office and not with my family? Always on point. May he rest in peace. J.

Peter, along with Dirck from H&L, helped our nonprofit during a nearly 2 year search for suitable space for our adult day program. His friendly and kind demeanor was so reassuring during this challenging process. I really liked Peter, although I didn't know him well, and I am greatly saddened by the news of his passing. My condolences to Francisco and the rest of Peter's family.

I've known Peter for over 30 years. Peter was extremely successful professionally, yet always down-to-earth and authentic. Underneath his stoic facade was a warm, kindhearted man who would go out of his way to help you. For many years, Peter hosted an annual Christmas dinner for our Monday Night Football "gang". He would prepare a sit down feast and make sure we each left with a signature Peter Gettner holiday gift. It was always the highlight of our season. I'll miss you, my friend.

Although you left us much too soon, Peter, you remain with us in our hearts and minds. You were a one-of-a-kind special, larger-than-life, loving person and we will miss you every day that you are gone from our lives. Love always and peace be with you.
