PETER J. MARTEL

Dear Family Members of Peter, It is hard to believe it's been a year since Peter's passing. I can still feel his sweet, humble presence. I imagine you can as well. I hope his ongoing presence brings you comfort. Etta (an HBS colleague).

I am so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He was a wonderful colleague who helped me and many others at HBS with his coaching and ability to brainstorm in such a meaningful way. He was genuine, kind and generous with his time, his advice and skillful coaching. He brought out everyone's value and potential. He had such a gift for making others feel comfortable in dialogue on sensitive topics. He will be missed.

My sincere condolences to Peter's family and friends. Peter was a warm and sincere colleague who always had a smile and a kind word or two. I was very fortunate to work and interact with Peter recently in his coaching capacity. He shared with me that he was so happy to be coaching and that he felt liked he had found his calling in his coaching at Exed Ed. I enjoyed working with him very much and he will be greatly missed.

Words just won't come. We love Peter and our hearts are broken. Profound condolences to his family.

Peter was a good friend. We will miss him very much, and will think of him often. Please let us know if a celebration of his life will be happening at a later date in the coming year.

I was so saddened to hear of Peter's passing. As a colleague at Harvard Business School, he was unfailingly kind, wonderfully insightful, truly optimistic, and a source of warmth for all. In every interaction, he made the rest of us better.

We are so sorry to learn about Peter's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Peter was a remarkably wise, humble, gentle, gracious, and delightful man. We coached together at HBS and I always appreciated his insights. His presence will continue to be felt in our cohort. Sending sweet energy to Peter's family.

I attended a few workshops led by Peter at HBS. His energy, enthusiasm, and joy were always palpable. He will be missed. My deepest condolences and sympathy.
