Peter was loved by so many. He was always up for an activity - golf, skiing, hot tub. He was, indeed, such a gift to all of us with his wonderful sense of humor and love of his own stories, jokes and poems. We will miss him (and I will miss his skiing tips and encouragement on the slopes. ).
Much love, Laura and Peter

We enjoyed more than 50 years of friendship with the warmest, kindest fun loving person.
We feel so fortunate to have had that time together.

Even though our relationship was intermittent, the sense of family remained. I never wavered in my love and admiration for Peter. Apart from his being the best father a child could have, Peter was warm, loving, compassionate, intelligent and witty. My heart is emptier with his loss.

It was always a pleasure to be in your company. Your wit, you intelligence, and your warmth through our college years and beyond were things I always looked forward to. Condolences to the family. Rest in peace, dear friend.
