Not sure what to say?

It is with deep sorrow to read about Peter Grad. The last time I saw him was at our George School 50th reunion where he had breakfast with me and Hugh Tyson. He talked so lovingly of his wife Laurie and his family. We reminisced about all the plays he acted in, especially 'Death of a Salesman' with Heller Holiday (Mary Martin's daughter). We will miss him greatly.
With sympathy,

My condolence Sandra of NYC

I remember Pete from our days at George School. I was a "day student" and he lived on campus. He was always gracious to me and other folks. In the early yrs after our graduation I solicited him for contritbutions. He always made generous donations. I extend
my sympathy to his family. I know he always "minded the light".
Be well, in Peace and love; Harry

What a wonderful friend at George School. Peer was always generous with his time and his help we will miss him

So sad to hear this. My sympathy and love to Laurie, Susan, and all the family.

Laurie: This is such a shock. My heart is with you. I am glad that I had the opportunity over lunch in SF with you and Peter and John and Sharon to tell Peter the story about his graciousness when I played Macbeth at George School. He had dedication and such a sense of humor. Best wishes to you.

I have fond memories of Peter. It was great to be with him at our 50TH George School reunion in 2008. David Perera GS 58
