I was honored to be Peter's home health nurse for the last year and a half, I saw him weekly. He was amazing and inspirational. He was constantly searching for knowledge and insight to improve himself and to have a positive impact on the world. He had many challenges but remained willing to work on himself, which was remarkable. I feel blessed to have known him, he will always have a special place in my heart. Grieving is long, I want Peter's family and friends to know that he will be missed by me.

I met Peter this March, through a friend in common. He was happy to know we were both transplants from Massachusetts, and that I had at one time worked in Marblehead and grew up around the North Shore.
At 80, Peter was learning about neuroplasticity, TBIs and concussion treatments. He was interested in applying what he was learning to his own life, and was excited to see what was possible for him to change in himself.
Peter hired me to re-organize his living space and co-create better systems for his continuing education and healthful eating. I last met with him on the Friday before Memorial Day, when I helped him purchase groceries for the long weekend, as Boulder's celebrations bring many visitors to town, making shopping a daunting experience for even able-bodied folks! We were going to meet again the following Thursday or Friday, but it was not to be.
I so appreciated knowing Peter. He was witty and humorous, smart and curious. Even in trying circumstances, he would try to find the joy, or at least the humor, in life. He lent me "The Ghost in My Brain," which has become one of my go-to resources for TBI clients. I will remember Peter for his grit, humor, intellectual curiosity, and determination.
I offer my sincere condolences to Peter's family and long-time friends.
