I shared a ski house in Lake Tahoe with Peter in the early 1980's...and then I took his place in a rental home in Woodside, when he went off to marry Kristina. I just learned of this extremely sad news, and hadn't seen Peter for decades, but his smiling face and charm are as fresh in my mind today as if it was just yesterday. What a loss for us all that knew him.

I am sorry that I have not commented earlier; Peter gave me a job when I was quite young (19).

From his charming personality to his lyrical English accent, I will remember him always. Whenever I was in San Francisco, he welcomed me into his home. Peter, your stay with us was much too brief.
