Not sure what to say?

Peter would be proud of how the BAA has navigated all the recent challenges. We think of him often.

Hard to believe almost 7 years have transpired since we lost Peter. I still have many fond memories about Peter...from traipsing with him at a business meeting in Vancouver, helping to found and sustain the largest congregation of independent PR firms in the world to being his guest at a Boston Pops gala celebrating the Fourth of July and sitting behind Massachusetts Governor Dukakis. It is those stories and memories that help keep Peter's legacy alive. RIP my friend.

The BAA family , which was so important to Peter, and for whom he was a revered and valued member of the Board of Governors will always be indebted to him for his wisdom and guidance. He is much missed by all of us.

Condolences to Peter's family, I'll always remember him as a fair and very intelligent man who (with Terry) took me on at Clarke as an intern for more than a year during graduate school. He introduced me to several great colleagues as well and I still connect with them from the left coast.

Morrissey Family sorry for the loss of your Brother Peter .Thoughts and Prayer to you all. The Bridges Family Newton St. Brighton

Carey & family, I am so sorry to learn of Peter's passing. I am not at all surprised to learn that he faced his illness with equanimity and poise. That is what I remember best from my brief tenure as his assistant at Clarke & Company - he was ever on the go, crises flying at him from all angles, but always composed. Usually with something funny to say at just the right moment.

May you and your family find comfort in how many lives Peter touched, in such a positive way, as he moved...

Your smile and peaceful presence will be missed in the neighborhood. Our sincere condolences to your whole family.

Peter will forever remain the wise voice of knowledge, sage counsel and thoughtful consideration that remains in minds of those whose lives he touched. He taught lessons to many, advised some of the world's most powerful-- yet remained humble through all of it. His physical presence will be missed, but his lessons and the legacy he left behind, will life on, forever. Sincere condolences to his entire family.

My sympathies to the Morrissey family.I never met Peter but my mother was his Godmother and best friends with his mom and I have fond memories of them talking about him in my kitchen growing up in Brighton.
