Just saw a flash of Peter in the Armistad Maupin documentary. I remember him with my father, CK, zipping around San Francisco. My condolences.

Peter was a dear friend and a true gentleman. I always enjoyed seeing him in a convivial setting over a glass of wine, where we could speak about California history and our mutual friends. I will dearly miss his good cheer and wisdom. Vaya con Dios, amigo.

Peter was such a wonderful person! I have great memories of the brunches he'd host in New York before the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions Finals, and I was so great for his support of the San Francisco MONC Auditions when I ran them. I loved talking musical theater with him. He will be missed - my deepest condolences.
