It was a sincere honor to know and work side-by-side with this remarkable man. Peter took the lead in our fight to save the Henry Island Isthmus, then stepped up to ensure a healthy future for the San Juan Islands by serving as a trustee for the San Juan Preservation Trust. On behalf of this organization and Peter's extensive island community, I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to Gretchen, Peter's family, and to his many friends and colleagues. Peter Ways has left behind a profound and lasting legacy in these islands that he loved, and I look forward to running into you all someday, on the isthmus, to share our memories of this incredible person...

To Gretchen and all of the Ways children and grandchildren, I offer my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Peter was a dear friend and colleague for more than 40 years. Although we did not always agree on various topics, I will forever value his deliberative and wise contributions to my life.
I cherish the many memorable visits to Henry Island over the years, our fishing adventures and shared professional pursuits.
His love and commitment to his family and to addiction education are among the many hallmarks of a man who lived life fully in service of others. I will miss you dearly.

I knew Peter as his gait became slower and his posture more stooped, yet there was always that strength I felt in his hands at the close of a meeting and the clear, intense look if I brought him a question or problem. There was also a pointed remark if he sensed me drifting into old, unproductive ways.
It took days for me to realize that, when he left us, it was on my AA birthday - a reminder that I have things to do. When I took leave of him in the hospital to go to South America, his directions were to "learn some of the native dances." I laughed loudly, but in Parintins, at their festival show, I danced.
