Joyce, I just read in the BYU Alumni Mag about Peter's passing and was so sorry that I didn't know and therefore couldn't attend the funeral. Please accept my regrets and condolences. Pete was a wonderful friend and roommate. Sorry not to have stayed closer in touch. I enjoyed our several evenings at your cabin and did see Pete several years ago by chance while attending a family wedding at the SL temple. I hope you are doing well. I was pleased to read that you are surrounded by a family that will take care of you. Especially pleased to learn that you and Peter had a son who will carry on his name. I would love to hear from you if you have a moment: 801-783-0393 or email.

I was lucky enough to serve with Peter in the Air National Guard in the late 60s and seventies. Though it has been years since I last saw him, I have many good memories on the C124s traveling many places. He will be greatly missed.

I worked with Peter at SLCC. In many ways he changed the course of my life, showing confidence in me as a stay-at-home mom going back into the workplace. He gave me many opportunities to grow and trusted my abilities. Even now, when I am happy about a success I've worked for, I imagine Peter rubbing his hands together with glee, a big smile on his face. I will forever be grateful to him for his kindness, compassion, and friendship.

Dear Joyce and Family,
We are so saddened to hear of Peter's passing. Such a wonderful member of our family who touched us with his lovely, deep voice, sense of humor in the face of trial, and his everlasting love of you and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Howard and I will always remember your "travel tour" visit to Santiago, Chile, while we were serving a mission in 2008...we'll look around for those fotos to share with the family!

We hope you feel wrapped in the arms of a loving Father in this hour. Carol and "Uncle" Howard Snow, American Fork UT

Dear Joyce! I´m saddened learning of Peters passing! I´m grate for the opportunity to know him and to serve with him in our beloved Salt Lake Temple! In reading his obituary and learning his parents names, I´m pretty sure his Mother lived two houses down from me when we first got married!!! Small world!
Love you Joyce and I am grateful for knowing you!
All my love, Marsha Smith

On behalf of the many colleagues that worked with Peter at SLCC, let me share our deep condolences and gratitude that we were able to serve alongside him. Peter's infectious optimism, reliability and humor, made him a delight to work with. Our Development team is strong and effective given the foundation he created.

Peter was a great friend to both my wife, Carolyn Taylor, in singles ward days, and to me later on with Carolyn at the Salt Lake Temple. I look forward to meeting up with him again before too many years. He was, and still is, a very good man.

Peter, I was so fortunate to serve with you in the Salt Lake Temple. Your energy was always a lift to me. You worried when you would find me asleep on the bench in front of our lockers. We shared love of country, kidney decline, and most of all enthusiasm for the Lord's purposes. You are a very special friend. May Joyce and your family be blessed.

Thank you Peter for getting Don and many others involved in the Baptistry of the SL Temple. It was a highlight of his life. So glad to know you are happy and free of pain. Blessings to Joyce and your family. Much love, Don and Diane Adamson
