Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear the news! I had Peter for studio in 1982 and 1983 at Miami and loved his class, talent and wit! I was an architect (still am) and loved the diversity and freedom his art and his abilities offered to me. I'll remember him always as one of my favorite teachers. Gerry Noe

My belated condolences as well. I have his 1;1 scale "nose on' airbrush painting he painted of an Me-109.

I doubt even Jennifer remembers me, but my family was close friends with his in the late 70's into the mid 80's. So sorry to hear of your loss.

Peter was a year a head of me in ID at the CIA.IStill have a mug he gave me when he roomed across the hall.I went on to design for Corning and remembered his food service designs..Such talent..Ted Reyda....Saugatuck Mi

I was a teen, but I remember a Pete Zorn who associated with our family, and I think it was this man. I have an 8x10 photo or 2 of him working on a large mural at the time. He was a regular visitor to our home and I have very positive memories. My mom and dad went on to great careers in art and so also with...

Peter was a mentor and my friend. He taught me about design how to properly hold an exacto knife, about the magic of vintage automobiles, and how to enjoy life. I only have happy memories of him.
