I will always remember him fondly. My sincere condolences to his family, partner & many loved ones for their loss.

I was on the Speech Team in High School (class of '81) and PK was a great coach and teacher. Definitely some of my fondest memories of High School are the speech tournaments. I learned alot from him and I know he'll be missed. He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Jan and Charles Parkhurst. We are remembering your visit to our home and the wonderful times we had while you were here.

If I look really hard in my mementos, I might have a pass from 1963 or 1964 signed PAK......great teacher, great director, great man

Arthur and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Peter. We always remember his quick wit and warm smile. Peter shared many wonderful stories, mostly about his experiences and love of the theater. Our condolences to Peter´s family and our dear friend Jean Jonker.

His ability to communicate and connect with people was remarkable. His sense of humor was a delight to us and his wealth of knowledge was apparent. I will always remember him for his kindness and support !
My condolences to his family .

Rest in Peace, Peter.
