Peter was a very good friend of mine, and I will miss him terribly. His knowledge, sense of humor, and his deep sense of caring for others will be what I remember. Even though I moved to L.A., I knew he was always there for me, and I am very glad we stayed in touch, and stayed friends for so many years.
