Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathies to my dear friend and to Kate. Whenever I saw him, Peter always displayed a quick wit and a ready smile. Dana

Marilyn and Kate:

I'm so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sandy Keshishian

Thank you to Peter's beloved family for sharing him with all of his online friends. We all grieve with you. He was respected and loved in our virtual village and long will live in our memories.

Mrs EFGoldman, my sincere condolences. In blog comments sections from 2003 to his final illness, Peter (as he turns out to have been) was a vital, clever sparring partner & comrade. He will be missed. Thank you for letting him fool around on the internet all these years. I like to think that my dad, had he lived into the online age & his 60s, would have had as much to contribute as your husband did. May his memory be a blessing.

I too knew Peter through his online presence and his absence is felt daily. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends in this time of loss.
RIP EFG.

Lynn, I'm so very sorry for your loss. My sincerest condolences.

I only knew Peter through a blog, but his wit, kindness and intelligence will be sorely missed there. My deepest condolences

He was also a devoted family man, and I am glad to read that he and Marilyn experienced the pleasures of grandchildren together. He left us too...
