Peter Lipton

Peter, even though I have not seen you since high school, you are one of my better memories of that time in my life. With all your brilliance and advantages, you were always a fine, decent, caring, upbeat guy. I'm sorry we didn't keep in touch, but I know you did well with the life you were given. My heart goes out to your family, and you will be sorely missed.

I would like to convey my profound condolences to Diana, to Jacob and Jonah, and to Peter's family. I attended Fieldston with Peter, and I remember a funny, smart young man. Please know that you and Peter are in my thoughts and prayers.

Although my recent contact with Peter was sparse, I have fond memories of him as a good friend from the years we spent together in high school, at the Fieldston School in Riverdale, NY.

Peter was outgoing, fun and a natural leader back then, without being overbearing. I also remember how kind and generous his parents, Louis and Lini, always were to me when I visited Peter. A lovely family. I understand that Louis passed away in 1999, and I have to extend my condolences to Lini, as it...

Today, here in Central China, I just get the shocking news that Professor Peter Lipton passed away. He was my supervisor in 1990-1991. We both were new at Cambridge by then.

I was his first graduate student at Cambridge. Since it was the first year for me to study in an Anglophone country, my English was poor. I posed a big challenge for...

I knew Peter as both a colleague at the University of Cambridge and at King's College, and also as a fellow member of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in the UK. All those who knew him are terribly shocked by his very untimely death and will profoundly miss his intellect, warmth and general humanity - sincerest condolences to his family in New York and Cambridge.

I taught philosophy at Wesleyan University from 1972-1980. Peter took a number of my classes, starting in his first semester there, which was mine as well. I well remember his intelligence, honesty, kindness and all-round decency and the purity of his interest in continuing his study of philosophy and, in time, teaching it. I've followed his career over the years and have been gratified by his success in academia and philosophy. His was a life well lived. Please accept my condolences for...

We read with sorrow the sad news about Peter. Please accept our deepest condolences, Rita and K. Nina Barth
