Peter Alan Laszlo

Dr. Laszlo was the most brilliant computer science professor that I ever had. He pushed us to our limits, and I will forever be grateful to him for challenging my young mind at the time. It's been over 18 years since I had a class with him but he will be missed.

I remember Peter LASZLO as a classmate of the '58 graduating class at Beverly Hills High School. He was quite quiet not evidencing much to me or others of his interests. I am pleased that he gained admission to CalTech and gained a PhD in computer science. It is sad that I never heard of nor saw him again before seeing his obituary from the L.A. Times - of 13 years ago.

Peter was a gentleman and a scholar.

Professor Laszlo:

I will always remember you as the professor that made the biggest impact on my view of computer science. Thank you for that and for leading me to K&R, SICP, and Knuth. May you rest in peace.

Being a former student of yours, I vividly remember your teaching style. You are an amazing teacher that I am sure nobody will ever forget. Rest in peace professor.

My sympathy to his family.

Dr. Laszlo was my most memorable professor during my years at Cal Poly Pomona in the early Computer Science program. (graduated 83) He pushed us all to the breaking point, but that forced us to go above and beyond and give our best if we wanted to succeed. It was rough at the time, but I look back with fondness for his insightfulness and desire to make his students think. We need more people like this to push us all a little harder and make us better. Thank...

Peter

I lost track of you years ago, but I well remember the times we had as undergrads at Caltech, like the tradition you had of riding my motorcycle through the halls at Ruddock House before finals.
Rest in peace, friend.
