— with Peter B. Wiley

It’s been over a year since Peter’s passing.  And yes, it has taken me this long to write a note of condolence.  Shock, grief, and regret all present as emotions in different ways.  The shock of Peter’s passing was numbing.  I couldn’t believe it nor did I want to accept it.  The grief I and I’m sure so many others are still experiencing is real and deep.  Because time has passed, I now smile on occasion as I remember our days as roommates in Columbus, Ohio (both of us attending The Ohio State University together in separate programs).  Profound sadness though was my lot during the first several months after his death.  I really and seriously did not want to accept it.  So much so that I was unable to contact Nancy (I’m remembering their wedding day now and witnessing Peter’s joy and love for his bride).  I’m now able to do so and look forward to this reunion.  My regret lies in not keeping  in touch through the years.  I wish I had known about his health condition.  I wish I had reached out particularly in these recent years.  Nonetheless, lots of comical and unique memories I still have (photos too) that I hope to share with Peter’s wonderful adult children.  I will not forget my roommate Peter Blaine Wiley.  He left a rich legacy and we will be sure, very sure to hold it aloft.  Rest in heaven Peter.

I just found out about Peter's passing. I am so sorry for your loss.  I worked with Peter at Colonial Management and a brief stint at 646 Advisors.  May he continue to smile down upon you and his family.  I will keep Peter, you and your family in my prayers.  Mike Rega  

I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending nothing but love from Columbus, Ohio. I hadn’t seen Peter in a long time, but he was always nothing but nice and loving towards myself and my family. He will be dearly missed.

Sincerely,

Will Gunzenhaeuser

I'm so very sorry for your family's loss.  I have wonderful memories of Peter as our families grew up together in Perrysburg.  Time spent at the Perrysburg Boat Club and at our house when the families got together are treasured memories.  I will ride for Peter this summer in Pelotonia , which raises funds for the Ohio State University James Canter Center and Solove Research Center in their fight to end cancer.  Your family are in my prayers.

So very sorry Nancy for your loss
