Not sure what to say?

I was lucky enough to work with Peter for a few years at Northern Trust and just now learned of his passing. My sincere condolences to the family; Peter was one of the most kind-hearted people I have met, and hard-working and fun-loving to boot. My thoughts and prayers are with Peter's family.

Sparrow Family,
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Peter at Northern Trust and he was an awesome person. Very nice and always had good stories about his daughters. May your memories comfort you at this difficult time.

Dear Sparrow Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart just aches for you all. I first met Peter when our daughters were in NT Daycare together, then worked with him on different presentations throughout the years. He used to fill me in on all the wonderful things you girls were doing. What a kind-hearted, compassionate man. Always willing to help out and share his vast knowledge. He will truly be missed. I'll keep you all in my prayers at this sad time.

I am sorry for your loss may you draw close to God of all comfort as you endure this difficult time 2

We are so very sorry for your loss. Peter was a great teacher, mentor, and above all, a wonderful friend. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My prayers for Peter and his family. He was a great mentor and inspiration and his knowledge will continue to resound.

Dear Charlotte and family - Peter was a friend and colleague for nearly 30 years. We shared many business travels and fun times, as well as challenges, and frequently talked about retirement. You are in my thoughts and prayers in his passing much too soon. His sense of humor was very special.

I am still at a loss for words and can't believe my dear friend is gone. I wish I had told him how much he's meant to me both professionally as well as personally. He was and will always be, without any equivocation, the most benevolent, kind and giving work partner I'll ever have. That's of note because I feel that benevolence and generosity of soul and spirit is very representative of who he is as a person.

There's likely been very few who treated their colleagues, friends...

I can still remember meeting Peter back in 1998. He was the best kind of coworker to have; smart, kind and considerate of others. Peter was truly a good guy and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to know him. He will be greatly missed.... Prayers for his family and friends.
