I just discovered that Peter has passed, although, in my heart, I was afraid that he was gone. Peter was many things to me. He was first my undergraduate teacher in Boston University. Then he was my advisor for my undergraduate Honors Thesis. Then he was my advisor for grad school. He was this and so much more..., he was and remains a significant figure in my life. And through this, he was my friend. I will miss him.

I give my condolences to his wife and daughter. I know from talking with him how proud he was of Laura. You could see it in his face when he talked about her.

I wish I had the chance to say good-bye.

Dr. Gumpert changed my life for the better in immense and lasting ways. I am blessed for having known him and to have had him as a guide. His kindness, wisdom, and empathy helped me beyond words. The memories I have and the lessons I learned will continue to guide me for the rest of my life. I am forever grateful and send my best wishes to his family.

I was so sorry to hear of Peter's death. He and I worked on the patient advisory councils at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. His insights and thoughtfulness were key to each meeting.

My sympathy to his family...

Sue and Laura, I'm trying to get used to a world where I won't run into Peter in Coolidge Corner, and share a hug and a smile with this lion of group therapy. He brought his colleagues so much as a teacher, mentor and friend. I'll miss him terribly.

This is very sad news! Peter was one of the finest men I have had the honor and pleasure to work with. This is a terrible loss for all who knew him!

A colleague has said so well, He was a moral guiding force in addition to being politically and clinically and organizationally astute.

I think of Peter and his guidance often in my clinical, professional and activist travels.

My warm thoughts and best wishes, Sue and family.
