Not sure what to say?

Ever the excellent horseman and player, Peter could hold his own equally on the sidelines between chukkars discussing art, philosophy, literature, the news of the day. He had a refined wit and sense of humor. I miss him.

I got to play polo with Peter and really enjoyed getting to know him during his stay in Norman, Okla. My condolences to his family.

Peter was my good friend, we having played polo together over a decade, mostly on the same team, and having attended numerous US Opens in Wellington.

What a truly lovely man.

Peter is sorely missed. Quick-witted and a deep thinker, Peter was a delight on and off the polo field. It was his horsemanship that set him apart-- far apart-- from most other players.

Peter, you will be missed. Wonderful man, thank you for having lived such a good life.

David Ragland Polo friend from Okahoma. Great person. Made a
contribution to those around him.

Peter, my longest friend, from 6th grade at ADS. A good polo player with and against many times, a superb artist in many disciplines, a sublime friend.
A light has left my life. The warmth lingers on.
Abrazos, Michael

An extraordinary man who led an exceptional life. I understand the love and admiration those who knew him felt.
