Peter was a classmate at Yale Medical school, and we both began at the West Haven VA virology lab under Dr. Robert H. Green. He was a very good friend and colleague and an outstanding physician. Kindest wishes and prayers for his wonderful family.

We are sorry to hear of your loss. We have fond memories of our times together at Yale and in Branford, including your baby sitting for our son, David, the night our daughter was born in 1974. The comments in the guest book echo our memories of a kind, intelligent and thoughtful man.
