I am so very sorry and shocked to learn of Peter's death. I only recently found out by accident from Peter Dodds. We all worked together at Saudi International Bank NY in the 80s. Peter was a wonderful boss who believed in me so that I could believe in myself. Always calm, polite and very charming with a great sense of humour

Paula, my dear friend, there are no words to express the deep loss you are feeling. Your many friends will try their best to console you.
The time and memories will wait for you.

Peter was a valued friend from the YMCA We shared a love of literature, track and field and culture. I am stunned by his death and loss. More so because he seemed so vital in his exercise routines and so alive in his discussions. My thoughts go out to all of his family and those like me who loved his company. I still have a book he gave me as a gift. It will always remind me of him. Kieran O'Reilly

Paula,
Peter brings many memories back that give us smiles and happiness. Thank You for giving us the time to meet Peter and share his life with us. Last fall we fished the Popo Agie River in Lander with Peter and friends.Peter was watching a den of foxes frolic and play. Peter was so inquisitive about their habits and joyfully shared time with the pups.
We also fished the big Horn river where a roost of Great Horned Owls showed proudly their babies. Peter commented on their safety in the cliffs and how wise they were. Peter a very Wise man. We were blessed the joy of spending time on the river and at our home. We got time together with our granddaughter Brooke. He shared verse from books he had read that described vivid scenes of our lives..
Peter a gentle, kind,and brilliant man!! We are so happy to spend time with him.
THANK YOU PETER for all the shining of your lights.

Well, it is too late for us to meet Mr. McClean, and we regret that, but we feel strongly that he was a good man, much loved by his wonderful daughters and sons-in-law, and grandchildren. In that love, and in their hearts and minds, he lives on. With condolences, and some sadness, the Weiss Family.

Paula, Hilary, Meredith and your families and of course Peter's Mother ; as you know, my life became intertwined with Peter's in 1983 and we remained very good friends, sharing never ending memories and laughs. Please accept my condolences, offered with great sadness. I now feel that a great gap has opened up in my life, one that will be very hard to close. I was lucky indeed to have been able to have considered him to be my friend. My wife Katherine and my children George and Lucy join me in sending you our love. Peter Dodds

Paula and family, Although we've never had the opportunity to meet, I had the pleasure and honor to serve on the NEB board with Peter. Peter was a supremely warm, kind, funny and thoughtful man and was a prime reason I so enjoyed these meetings. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Take good care, Cheryl Dorsey
