PETER HUGHES RICHARDSON

I was pleasantly surprised and very touched when Pete came to my brother, Jo Joline's Celebration of Life last Sept. And now am deeply saddened to hear of his sudden passing. Memories of Pomfret are flooding back. Quite a man, a life to be emulated! Thoughts and prayers for all of you.

My memories of Pete here at Riverwoods in Exeter, NH was that of laughter, wonderful conversations and sometimes tears.

His warm caring personality was so obvious. And every day I saw Pete he was going out to do something to make this earth a better place

Pete, we will miss so much you and your love of our Mother Earth. Fair skies and following winds. Bev Tappan

Peter joined my father, two other friends and me on a three-week trip to the Arctic in 1981. He was a fantastic companion, guide, naturalist and comedian during the adventure. I'm smiling just thinking of the wonderful times we shared.

We were in our 50s when our paths first crossed, working at MIT and serving on the Council of the Appalachian Mountain Club, but what a pile of memories we have accumulated since then! My friend, you left us too soon, and will be greatly missed.
