Hello I did not know Mr. Sasson but I am the niece of Bryce Bond. And I loved seeing this nice photo of he and Mr. Sasson. Now both are at peace in Heaven.

Peter and I were at school together at Hurstpierpoint College from Sept 1962 to July 1967.As members of the same boarding house, we tackled the trials and tribulations of our formative lives together as close friends. I will always remember him with great fondness for his comradeship and camaraderie. My thoughts are with his family and friends

I can say with authority that Peter Sasson had many wonderful qualities. I met Peter in October 1978 within a month of arriving in Saudi Arabia. He had been there for one year and was already well known to many people at the royal hospital, where I worked, because that was where the action was in those days in Riyadh, and he was always a part of the action. He had the happiest disposition of anyone I've ever known. Yet he was very serious when it came to his work, and he was a man who got the job done, yet he did it with integrity. While he was a high achiever in his profession, he was always ready for fun. While traveling the world, he never met a stranger. People were instinctively drawn to Peter for a variety of reasons, but mainly for his bright smile and curiosity to learn about others. He spoke French like a Frenchman, Italian like an Italian, English like the Brit he was, and picked up other languages easily. He loved his family and took wonderful care of his aging parents. He adored and loved his wife Julie, and thought of her only during the last days of his life. He was generous to a fault in his personal life. I could write a book on Peter's thoroughly interesting life, but I won't do it here. I really can't think of one bad thing to say about Peter Sasson, even if you give me a lifetime to try and think of something to criticize. I think everyone would agree that this is a very unusual statement for an ex-wife, but it is the simple truth. Even after our divorce, Peter & I remained close friends -- and that friendship included his lovely wife, Julie. I am thankful for knowing Peter Sasson, but like others who were in his life, I feel a tremendous sadness that he is gone. I can say that the world is a lot less interesting place without Peter Sasson in it.

I will always remember when I met Peter for the first time. Soon after we had opened the bistro, he walked through our doors; gosh, what a character, he was sharp and definitely a man who knew what we wanted. Believe me, he wasn't easy to please, but I kind of liked him from the start. In the years after he became one of my biggest clients and a regular – and a VIP (his name is actually still on top of the VIP list).
He used to call me in the morning to make a booking: “Xavier! Table for three! 1pm today. My table, please.” (All in French of course)
Peter always complained about the portions being too small, so when he ordered, chef Ludo made sure that he got an extra large portion every time. He never liked our carrots and the music was always too loud. So when we saw Peter arriving at the bistro, we turned down the volume, showed him to his table, served him some champagne and opened his favourite bottle of wine.
On stressful days, he used to pop by in the afternoon when the bistro was closed, knocked at the door and demanded a glass of champagne. And of course I was there to fulfill his wish.
During the last 4 years we developed a lovely relationship, and from time to time I sat down with him, we enjoyed a “Digestif” (or two) and talked. And although I have only known him for such a short period, it feels so much longer.
Peter was a great man, even though he could be a handful at times, I will always remember him as a kind, loving person with big heart and we will miss him dearly.

I met my second cousin Peter on two occasions, his 60th birthday party in Milan and our one-and-only family reunion party held in Paris in September 2010. On both occasions Peter had the same effect on me : a man larger than life! He obviouly enjoyed life immensely, intended to make a riot of every one of his living moments and also made sure everyone around him enjoyed it as much as he did. Intelligent, constructive, fun, making everybody feel at ease and obviously in love with and on the same wavelengt as his wife Julie, just as riotous as he was. We'll miss you a lot Peter specially since we intended to do many things together. I wish you to have as much fun on the other side of the boarder as you had on this one, Much love, Bob
