Not sure what to say?

May your legacy live. You are still fresh in our minds. May the Lord be with your family. You will always be precious and treasured for huge contribution in the ministry of the Lord. You reached the whole world,rich and poor. This will be forever treasured.

As I said before, Peter was a wonderful friend, counselor, guide, and, with all he did with FOCUS and so much more, a continuing source of inspiration and comfort. He continues to be all that for me from his place at the feet of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Peter is very much alive in my heart here on earth, but also above. What a wonderful picture! As has been said, "...whoso ever believes on Him shall not perish, but pass into everlasting life!! What a promise and reality!

Your smile,laughter and humbleness is still fresh in my mind. Your humor and caring spirit makes us feel your presence. You will be forever be in my memory. I thank God for giving me the golden opportunity to meet you. I thank God for upholding His family. Continue to rest in eternal peace,until we meet again.
Rev Sophy Kaguai- Kenya.

A life well lived. We will forever miss you though your legacy lives in our hearts. You fought a good fight, you finished the race and you kept the faith.
Fare Thee Well!

This news brings me to tears. Peter was my spiritual Father when I was a teenager in the '70s. I was encouraged to attend the FOCUS retreat center on Marthas Vineyard where I opened my heart to Jesus and devoted my future to walking as a believer. Just some 4 years later when I gratulated college Peter officiated our wedding. This brilliant man and warm hearted leader will be deeply missed except for the indelible mark his influence has made on hundreds of people, and the good graces of...

My relationship with, admiration, and affection for Peter are truly life-long for me. My mother (Samantha Schreiber) worked with Peter at CRIS and in the early days of FOCUS, my father (Steve Lanfer) was an early FOCUS volunteer. Peter introduced them to one another, and they subsequently named me after him. Some of my earliest childhood memories involve vacations with the Moores in various hazily remembered idyllic locations. Over the years, I had the pleasure and privilege of spending time...

As a Late vocation, I was in a last class at Berkeley Divinity school now under Yale. In many of my disagreements with liberal teaching, I relied greatly on MANY of Peters writing. I have many signed resources of Peter that helped me save the day.

Peter was a more than very special friend to me and my wonderful wife of almost 51 years, Carley. In fact, Peter officiated at our wedding in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. He also preached at my mother's funeral in Greenwich, CT.

I first met Peter when he knocked on my door (along with Sam Abbott) in Quincy House at Harvard in 1963 to tell me about FOCUS. He was an important, God-given part of, and, most importantly, a true blessing to my life, as well as Carley's. I treasured...

All I can say is that he changed my life early on for the better. He helped my whole family out of times of trial. He is going to be sorely missed. I'm so sorry for the whole families loss.
