I am so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. Our deepest condolences to his wife, Joanne, his family and numerous friends. Recently, Peter advised my husband concerning my own battle with stage 4 cancer. His counsel was delivered with patience and after serious meditation. May God comfort you and the congregation of St. Luke's especially at this time.

I heard of Peters passing today. I was a recent student and admirer of Peters and think of of him often. I want his family to know his work has greatly helped my family and I am sure many others. I often told him I wish I could have studied with him 30 years earlier.

Joanne and Family, I am so sorry to learn about Peter's passing. Like you, he was instrumental in bringing so many of us into rooms of recovery, and showing us that there truly is a solution to addictions. Additionally, he always focused on the spiritual side of our program, always stressing growth and progress, not perfection. He is blessed, today, to be in the Company of Our Lord. May God bless him and your entire family.

Joanne, I am so sorry to hear of Peter's passing. I did not know that he struggled with cancer for the last few years. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time. Although I know that he will be missed greatly by you and your sons, it must be of some consolation to know that he is at peace with our Lord. Sincerely, Brenda Heistand
