As kids, we had many happy rainy days at Popham playing Monopoly and as grownups, exciting days doing real estate closings. We miss him.

Dear Donna,
I am so sorry to hear about Peter. I know that he was the love of your life.
Special men come and go but he was very special. A great son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. So many memories. My deepest sympathy
to you and the kids, Adele, and the grand kids.

Love always,
Cousin Steven Pearlstein

It seems so improbable that two of my lifelong friends passed away on the same day. Peter and I have known each other since we were 5 and 8 years old. The memories of a lifetime exist for us at Popham.
Memory--- is the sixth sense that is more important than the other five. See,Touch,Taste. Hear, Smell are really nothing without memory. I can close my eyes and I can see and hear Peter at the beach. There are many good memories. Peter you will be missed.

Dear Mrs. Rubin and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. Peter was truly a giant of the Maine Bar. It was my distinct privilege to work with him on a few cases and to interact with him over the years. He was remarkable as a lawyer and also remarkable as a human being. The entire Maine bar I am sure mourns the loss of one of our truly great colleagues.

Donna, I just learned today of Peter's passing. I am still shocked. Peter was my mentor and advocate when I was at Bernstein, Shur. I tried a case with him in Rockland where I learned not all judges are fair and that Peter was a brilliant lawyer. That trial took a month and he won the 2nd highest verdict in that county. I learned so much from Peter. I can't believe he is gone. I offer you all the peace and love I feel because Peter touched my life. May you, your children and grandchildren fine peace in knowing what a fine person Peter was and how much he touched so many lives. Love, Joyce Wheeler

I remember the pleasant years of growing up at Popham and visiting with Peter. Playing baseball on the beach, trading baseball cards playing card and board games and collecting numismatics were shared interests. After he graduated and practiced law, I would sometimes see Peter and the family on the beach.He accomplished many things in his life and will be well remembered. He will be missed.
With kindest regards,
Jeff Sagert, Popham & Ft.Lauderdale, Fl.

Dear Donna,
I was saddened to see the notice of Peter's death in the paper today. As I looked at his photo, I was immediately transported to the Cape swimming pool where we (young) parents were cheering for our children's team. Peter always added a sense of dignity to our exuberance. I held great respect for all the members of your beautiful family. You all seemed centered and loving. I can only guess that you have had difficult months leading to this untimely death. Surely Peter's capable and quiet influence will live on through your children and grands. I send my deepest condolences to you all.

Donna, as I listened to the moving tributes to Peter at this afternoon's service, I was reminded that my first contact with Bernstein Shur was through Peter: he interviewed me and offered me a job...in 1976. And a few years later I was working with him on a case when he was first diagnosed with lymphoma. In characteristic fashion he didn't want to talk about it but I remember you told me about his condition and asked me to keep an eye on him. He was an important influence in my career and I will miss him. Mary and I send our condolences to you and your family
