May the ripples keep spreading...

Wow. Though I knew it was coming, I somehow missed the news that Peter had passed on until today - when I saw condolences being passed on in mail to the Geeks.

And now I am reading over this tribute site - and it is such a beautiful monument to such a beautiful man....

Thank you Lyle for creating this.

The thing that has blown me away the most about Peter is how I see the ripples of his life and his love spreading out into the world...

He radiates love, but more than that - he passes it on. I've witnessed Peter's love burning in Lyle, and it is passing on into Wyatt.

I've seen Peter's love fill an auditorium as he brought Miracle to life...

And in all the few times I met him, I always walked away richer for the encounter. His smile and joy in life was infectious. You couldn't help but notice it in him and walk away with some of it burning in you....

I am sad to hear of his passing, but I am thrilled to think of how the ripples Peter has created will continue to grow and spread and touch the world.

He is a great man, and I am honored to have met him.

And Lyle - I am honored to have you as a friend. You will cary on your father's legacy, and more.
