I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Peter for very long, but each meeting with him was always interesting, lively and delightful. He was always gracious and kind, a true gentleman. I wish I had known about his love of Tango it would have been so fun to dance with him.
I send my best wishes for peace to his family and friends.

Only in the last year of his life did I meet Peter, but I wish I had known him sooner. He was a kind and generous man with a quick, wry wit and always a pleasure to be with. May he rest in peace.
