Dear Family Members of Peter,
It is hard to believe it's been a year since Peter's passing. I can still feel his sweet, humble presence. I imagine you can as well. I hope his ongoing presence brings you comfort. Etta (an HBS colleague).

I am so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He was a wonderful colleague who helped me and many others at HBS with his coaching and ability to brainstorm in such a meaningful way. He was genuine, kind and generous with his time, his advice and skillful coaching. He brought out everyone's value and potential. He had such a gift for making others feel comfortable in dialogue on sensitive topics. He will be missed.

My sincere condolences to Peter's family and friends. Peter was a warm and sincere colleague who always had a smile and a kind word or two. I was very fortunate to work and interact with Peter recently in his coaching capacity. He shared with me that he was so happy to be coaching and that he felt liked he had found his calling in his coaching at Exed Ed. I enjoyed working with him very much and he will be greatly missed.
