Not sure what to say?

We were blessed to have Peter Paul as our neighbor. We all moved into our neighborhood the same year and our children grew up together. He always had a smile, a kind word and an interest in our family's life. We shared our love of trees and protecting the environment. He had an extraordinarily brilliant mind and a humble spirit. He was respected and loved by all who knew him. He is missed and always will be. A life well lived.

Peter was an extraordinary person that influenced the lives of many, many people. He had a gift for leadership, an intense commitment to expanding the frontiers of science, and a warm personality that made everyone feel comfortable. He is the type of person that expected a lot of those in his company, but never as much as he expected of himself. I could write a book on everything he meant to me, and I am so sorry that I will no longer hear his voice or see his smiling face. Rest in peace!
