Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Peter's Passing. I grew up on the same street in Milton, Massachusetts as Peter and his brothers. Childhood was spent riding bikes to Turner Pond, playing neighborhood football at Thanksgiving on the Putnam's lawn, winter sledding on North Russell Street, climbing trees on a dare. I was in the same 6th grade class at Milton Academy, with Peter, who was for me an endearing friend with a kind generous spirit. He touched lives with an inescapable kindness. Condolences to...

Dear Peter and Family, Peter emailed me to see if it would be all right if he came to our 50th Milton reunion for the class of 1967. He had also asked Betsy Hurd. I enthusiastically responded,"YES"! Peter and I went to the lower school at Milton Academy. His mother was a teacher there. I lost track of Peter when he left to go to another school.

Peter was one on my best friends at Tabor. Old friendships never fade.

I remember many visits with both Peter and Alix in the Town Clerks office. I am so very sorry to hear of Peter´s death. Thinking of his family and friends with loving sympathy. Patty

Peter was a delightful friend whom my family and I enjoyed knowing for many years during summers in Castine. We were pleased that he attended my sister's birthday party on September 13th, when Peter and many long-time friends were able to see each other. I'm also pleased that the occasion provided one last visit to lovely Castine for Peter.

Peter was one of my favorite teaching colleagues and we enjoyed many conversations about history and the Arts. His former students and colleagues will long remember him.
