I worked directly with Peter at the Globe in 1970-71 and Tim Leland's words are only the start of his concern and integrity as a human being. I last saw him in 2004 at the testimonial dinner (at the Globe) for Harold Dondis, his 50-year comrade in chess (still active in his 90's). I nicknamed him Santa Hooten/Hotton in 1970, which may explain a lot to those who never saw his beard or met him personally.

I met Peter Hotten once at a "Home Show" and I think I scared him. My enthusiasm came off as weird fan rather than adoring fan. He was the "father" who showed me how to do things around my first house while my husband traveled on average four days a week and two babies tangled around my feet. He taught me about the structure of my home, the performance of my utilities, expectations of my fixtures, the reasons things were performing the way they were, and what and why for the strange noises...

You only need to look to the sky above, find the brightest shining star and there will be your loved one. The twinkle in his eye is now but a twinkle in the sky. A loving devoted family has sent him on his final journey. Remember the good times, know his suffering is over and he rests in peace. Prayers are sent your way.

On hearing the sad news, a friend said: "An elder dying is like a library burning." That is certainly, sadly true with the passing of Peter Hotton. He shared his wisdom, his wit and his cheerful nature so generously, he will live on forever in the hearts and memories of untold numbers of people he never even met. To Lucia, Gina and the rest of the family: you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Wishing you Peace and Comfort.
