Kevin was the editor of The Gauntlet when I was a student at the then University of Alberta at Calgary. He was a formidable and confident force, an inspiration. I last saw him in the 70's where we had a drink with other friends and my new husband at, of all places, The Cecil Hotel, which horrified my Great Aunt. Even there his confident presence made its mark. Nearly 50 years later I spent my life in the UK but those memories of those early days at UACm to become UofC never go away. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Kevin will be greatly missed by all of us at ATP. He was a light in this community. A leader, a wit, a fan, a thinker and a doer. A man of many passions and qualities. A warm spirit to all. We send you our love. We are sorrowful for this loss.

I'll never forget the day Kevin introduced himself at a NOVA offsite meeting. He said "I'm Kevin Peterson and every day I thank my lucky stars I'm married to Sheila O'Brien". He was a remarkable man.

I have such wonderful memories of working at The Calgary Herald under the leadership of Kevin. He greeted everyone by name with a feeling of genuine friendship. He was a great influence on the leaders of his departments. Kevin was an amazing man. Prayers of comfort are sent to his wife, family and friends.

Sheila. Gloria Dalton advised me today of Kevin's passing and it conjured up memories of days writing for The Gauntlet and the interesting times that we had as The University of Alberta, Calgary transitioned to the autonomous University of Calgary some 50 years ago. His support and encouragement enabled me to become the University of Calgary's first Student Senator and I will always remember his mentoring and generous nature.
