Dear Peter, I cannot believe its been 5 years. Having you in my life as a friend and mentor is forever cherished. There are not many days that go by, that I don't think of you. The fond memories are many, and I am forever thankful and remain mindful of the present moment. You saw something in me, I saw it in your eyes, I still feel you, and somehow I know you are pleased what you still see in me. Til we meet again pal. Keep smiling!

It was refreshing to see a jet-setter such as Peter enjoying one of the pure and simple things in life - the companionship of a dog, his basenji Geo - right to the end. RIP, Peter, Geo remains in good hands.

I am so saddened to hear that Peter has passed.
The world has lost a great artist and photographer. I am honored to have worked for him as an assistant in his studio/home.
I'm so grateful that he wanted to meet with me during my last visit in Florida. We had a very nice day and he shared with me of his wisdom. I will cherish this memory.
Friend, rest in peace. ❤

Vaya con Dios.

7/13/15 IM to Peter, though he hadn't revealed the illness. Sometimes we sense those we've loved even from great distances:

'Do you still kneel b4 bed? Maya made me think of you:
"Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer" Maya Angelou

Hope you are enjoying all blessings.'

Still do, Peter. Love always.

My deepest condolences to Peter's family, friends and those whose lives he touched. This past week I haven't been able to get his last photo, 'Transcendence' out of my mind. It so beautifully speaks to the man is was and is, his art, the love he felt for his friends and his love of life. To me it was his way of showing all of us all where he next great adventure and that everything is going to be alright.
Until we all meet again ...

I want to take this opportunity to express my sadness about Peter's passing. We were friendly competitors, even working for the same clients at times. I always had the utmost respect for Peter's ability, as well as for his integrity. RIP Peter, your work and legacy will live on!

Im so sorry to hear about Peter. I remember working with Peter in the "early years",in the 80's. We created a lot of great stuff, and had fun doing it, whether it was a poster, a catalog for The Galleria, a fashion shoot, or a national ad on location. Peter's creativity won us all "Addy's". God bless Peter...

I did get to talk to you, but I never said thank you for all of the days your presence made a difference in my life. Thank you for friendship, confidence, words of wisdom. I know you're at the bar with Gil and smiling down.

Bodacious. I can't think of a better word to describe our friend Peter. He sparkled. He glowed. He lived life to the fullest. We should all take a lesson from him. No regrets!

Peter, my heart aches every day like a pain I can't describe. When we found out you were sick, we both worked hard to find the right doc and therapy. Can't believe nothing worked. I love and miss you. I reach for the phone to say good night...but realize your not going to respond. I hear you saying, "sis, don't cry...your so emotional!". I say....what do you expect....I'm Italian....
Bob, thank you for the care you gave my Peter. I love you too!

I know you will be looking after us. One of my photos of butterflies that Peter liked

It's overwhelming how many people have expressed their heartache & sadness over Peter's passing, their admiration of his creativity & talent, how they wished they had spoken to him one last time, their respect of him and their final respect's for him.

I'll miss my friend, my buddy, my brother in spirit.

I hope to meet up with you again one day Peter.

You were recently told that in this life we are like caterpillars and that it was following our passing that we experience a metamorphosis into something greater as what happens when the once caterpillar first becomes a cocoon from which a beautiful butterfly then emerges.

I know you will be looking after us.
