Remembering Peter on this one year anniversary of his passing, and on many other days, as well. I am glad to have had Peter as a friend and comrade in arms against nuclear weapons, war, and other threats to people and planet. Presente Peter.

Péter was a gentle giant. He stood by his convictions valiantly.
He and Diane represented a couple committed to their union through immense love and respect.
They took Nia dance classes at Jewish Community Center.
They could break a move, it was a joy to watch them dance.
Their two children knew my two, fine human beings as well.

What a special being! Peter was truly soul size, warm, inviting, always present and engaged, and truly interested in others and their condition. There is a huge hole in our physical universe but his ripples of influence are eternal.

Your life made an enormous impact on mine with such amazing positive thoughts. I will miss you.

Peter is goodness and decency personified. His well-lived life was entirely too short.
