Growing up in Englewood, New Jersey, I lived two blocks from Peter and for many years was his best friend. It was my good fortune to have found him in later life and renewed our extraordinary friendship.

I was a classmate of Peter's in the Clinical Psychology program at Harvard. I often thought of calling him, in recent (post-retirement) years, to catch up, but didn't, and now I have lost the opportunity. To his family and friends: Peter was a gentle and kind presence in our cohort, and I'm glad that he had what appears to have been a very rewarding life.

The thing that I loved the most about Peter - and there are too many things I loved to list here- was his character. He came into my life when he met my Mother, Rosemary Lenrow. I had the opportunity to be inspired as a young adult in the 1980's and 1990s by his passion for social justice, his astute political mind, and his incredible wit. Whenever Peter was about to tell a joke, and it often had a good political edge, he would pause, his face would light up, and then came the joke. It was never a mean joke; often it was self-deprecating, and it always carried a dinner conversation to the next level. Peter's smarts, his humor, his commitment to social justice, his gentility, are qualities so evident in his children - Laurie, David and Mark. When Peter died, after such an amazing career and then post career as a talented artist, I felt a deep sorrow, like the world had lost a good citizen, a asset for humanity. But his example lives on and on. Patricia Burch
