Notice that part in Peter's obituary where it mentions being an avid tennis player? One of Peter's most endearing qualities was that, whenever we watched a match on television (& epsecially during a Gram Slam tournament), he would often jerk his leg or twist his foot involuntarily during a really tight rally - you know, to offer the competitors a little empathetic help. I think he was living through those athletes at the time, rather than just casually watching them. Thought this was worth sharing, if anyone is still reading here.

Dearest friend - five years now. And finally the portion of your ashes I guarded so carefully have been set free in the Pacific Ocean at Fidalgo Bay in Washington, near Bellingham! It was a great experience for those of us who watched your release & I hope you enjoyed the freedom of flying off into the wonderful breeze & waves of the ocean. Makes me smile.

Three years later & I'm still missing our friendship. Sure am hoping you're in a fine & enjoyable place. Lucky.

Péter. Csaknem ötven évi barátság után
mentél át egy másik dimenzióba. Várat-lanúl és túl korán. Fiatal korunktól mos-
tanáig mindig megosztottuk örömünket és bánatunkat. Amig csak élek, hiányozni
fogsz. Most szüleiddel vagy, látsz min-
ket és most is törodsz velünk,akik sze-
rettek és törodtek Veled.
Egy nap majd én is csatlakozom Hozzá-
tok és újra találkozhatunk.
A viszontlátásig....Bea

Dear Peter, I was so sad to hear of your passing. You were a very good friend, full of kindness and support. I will miss you very much. I always looked forward to your visits here in Budapest and will always look back at those times fondly.
Rest in peace.

Péter, az egyik legkedvesebb, legrégibb barátom voltál és maradsz, mindig vártuk az estéket, amelyeket együtt tölthetünk Budapesten vagy NYC-ben - nagyon fáj, hogy többé hiába várjuk....

My dear Peter, I am deeply touched of your sudden passing away. I really appreciated to know you the last couple of years, having lent your Budapest flat a couple of times and being with Irene, Peiling and Stass in Alta skiing last year. We will play piano and sing together somehow beyond the corner. RIP

RIP Peter!
I am deeply sad to received the news and cannot believe that you left us so soon. It was last year, we made this great international skiers trip to Alta. I was hoping to see your pro skiing down hills again; you surely looked great in your ski gears!
I just came back from Spain, where Irene and Peter had sent you a postcard, signed by three of us. I was about to phone you to report my March ski trip to Squaw Valley and thank you for your recommendation of this place.
I will always remember your gentle and caring as well as your professional standards you discussed with me!
