What a sweet man. I am so sad to hear about his passing.

Peter was a friend and fellow motorcyclist. We were on several motorcycle adventures together, including a tour of the state of Arizona. He had such love for life and brightened every room he entered. While riding, he even made time to wave at the truck drivers as he passed by on the Interstate. I will never forget him or our motorcycle adventures and I will always look back at those times as a true highlight of my life.

Pete was one of the kindest, sweetest, and most talented men I’ve ever known. We didn’t see as much of each other after he moved to DC, but we stayed in touch. I last saw him in May 2009 during a Potomac Fever performance, and I wish we had been able to get together more. As a fellow musician, I was pleasantly surprised when he took to performing professionally and was pleased to see him becoming more and more successful. Before he took ill, he and I had started to plan a cabaret performance here in Pittsburgh. His physical life may have been cut short, but he will live on in the hearts of all who were touched by his musicianship and his humanity. He will be sorely missed.

Peter was so wonderful. Talking with him was always a pleasure-such warmth and genuineness. Very sad news.

Tuesday afternoon, January 3

Peter performed at my late partner’s “Celebration of Life” on Saturday afternoon, August 21, 2004.
Stephen Brent Miller and I had been partners for more than 42 years when he died in July 2004.

Among the songs that Peter sang that afternoon was “Moon River.” Beginning in fall 2004, Peter
and I became close personal friends. Peter was one of truly special people that I have known in
my 70 years. When I looked at Peter, I saw the face of God.

This is really sad and brings me to a very sad place when I lost my sister to cancer. I know Peter and I hope he is in a better place. I admire Antonio for being there for him, his roommate, and especially the family. I know how hard it is. My prayers with all of you.

Peter was a special person and the arts were his passion. Here is additional information that others may want to know that was sent out by his family regarding donations:

In lieu of flowers, Peter would like gifts made to the Icla Da Silva Foundation, which has helped his god daughter Tracy with her Leukemia. http://www.icla.org/

You may also make a gift to the Sitar Arts Center, which promotes music and the arts to kids. http://www.sitarartscenter.org/

(Stay tuned for more info on a project with Sitar to continue Peter’s legacy)

Pete was a good friend and former college roommate. We lost touch over the past 20 years…(you need to make time to keep in touch with old friends…too young to die! ) I will always remember and admire his optimism, confidence and debating skills. He was not afraid to speak his mind. Pete touched a lot of lives during his short visit on this planet, he will be missed. To all of his friends and family: Please accept my sincere condolences. Sprek
