“Peter was known for his great wit, intellectual curiosity, and astounding range of knowledge on a vast array of topics ranging from military history to baseball trivia to the best bar in any town he had ever visited. Peter was also known for his incredible generosity and love of a good party, as evidenced by treating generations of family and friends to wonderful vacations and countless meals where laughter reigned and wine flowed. Peter was a true Renaissance man who will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.”—Jane Murray, life partner
