I found out about his death in 2020, while trying to find him to ask him to play his cello for me upon my death. I was inconsolable. We were friends, colleagues, and had a student- cello teacher relationship. I loved Peter. I facilitated his interview as a Kindergarten teacher in the SLCSD and since then, we developed a strong bond. friendship. Now, 2025, I still miss him and mourn his death every day. Hope that with time, Jacqueline, Mary, Roberta and rest of family have come to terms with him being gone.

I only met Peter twice, but both times he impressed me with both his courage and his kindness. I regret that I did not have more time to get to know him better.

Peter was one of the most interesting people I ever met, he led an interesting and eclectic life and his stories would always make me smile. I'm going to miss talking to him.

We'll always remember you Peter. Thank you for always taking care of my brother and making him and many others so happy these past 5 years.

When I knew Peter as a Carlson teacher, he was always thinking about others and not himself. He fought cancer and won, in spirit. A beautiful soul has left us... we will remember you, Peter.

I met Peter back in 1995 when we both taught ESL at Belmont Adult School. He was always good-natured and friendly. His students loved him, as well. Later I found out that he played cello and was a former Piatigorsky student. We played chamber music together many times, and, in fact, we played a string quintet in honor of Andre Sutton, the former ESL coordinator at Belmont. Peter had a wondeful sense of humor, and he was never cautious about being the subject of his own jokes/stories. My condolences to Seth, Jacquline, Mary, and his sisters. We all loved Peter, and we'll all miss him dearly.
