A true Angel among us. Thanku Peter for all you've done for me. I love you and will miss you.....Love your friend/student, Lynn

I was lucky to have Peter as a professor at Black Hawk. He was always very nice and kind to all who knew him. He will be sorely missed.

Dear Jaan,
How sad. Hugs for you as you deal with Peter's passing.
This past family reunion i got to talk one on one with Peter. We talked of Savannah and my desire to go there. Peter then weaved such a story of mystique and enchantment about the city. It was as if we were in a cartoon and smoky tendrils of enticement were reaching out to pull me into the magic of Savannah. Peter was spellbinding and i told him so. He smiled and said Savannah was one of his favorite places. The memory of that feeling of being spellbound will be with for a long time.
Thank you for bringing him into our family.
Love,
Julie

Jaan, you have my sympathy. I met Peter this past September when he was here in Springfield for a week long training session. He had a kind word for all and a quick wit that kept us laughing. He will surely be missed.

Jaan, we've met you at St John's. We extend our deepest sympathy to you. Although we are in the holiday season which makes a loss even more difficult, may the birth of our Lord and Savior restore hope and love in your heart. You are in our prayers. Peace.

Thanks so much for your kind words. Indeed, at Christmas time we all need to be grateful for so many things and I am grateful for the 22 years Peter and I had together.
