Peter was my cousin, and I am shocked and deeply saddened to have just learned of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. My mother, Lorraine Ottmar Baker, and I last saw Peter when he came out to Seattle for the National Broadcast Association's 2002 meeting where we had a lovely dinner with him. He was always a kind and delightful conduit to the goings on of the East Coast wing of the Ottmar family. Rest in Peace, Peter.

Peter was a dear friend of my Jim. They served together in the Army, and Peter helped Jim get a job with a Massachusetts congresswoman. Peter was always a loyal friend to Jim. The last time I saw Peter was at my brother's memorial service in 2004. RIP Peter.

I just learned of Peter's passing and am very saddened by the news. I worked for both he and Jim at Mercury for most of the 1990's. I was fond of and enjoyed working with both of them. Sincere condolences to the family
