[DKH]

Wow. Just not right.

damn I hope he’s looking at all us from a fantastic Place

so so sad

 

[GabeTravels]

Awful.

 

[LouJersey]

That sucks. RIP.

I looked up his last post, and underneath was a post from someone talking about getting a cardiac scan. Really sad he passed.

I am so sorry to hear this. Way too young, his poor family and friends. Heartbreaking. Life is so short, we need to realize just how precious every minute is.

 

[Bruinaura]

That sucks. RIP.

I looked up his last post, and underneath was a post from someone talking about getting a cardiac scan. Really sad he passed.

That was me.

I wonder if he had known heart issues or if this was just one of those out of the blue things.

Either way it's just so sad.

Terrible news, waaaaaaaay too young. Always enjoyed Peter's posts as they were very detailed and extremely informative. Condolences to his family.

To the rest of you - hug your significant other, let your family and friends know they're loved and just be a decent human being. life is short

 

[Over the volcano]

Thats awful- take good care everyone

 

[Flannelman]

f***, man. Only exchanged a few convos over the years but seemed like such a good guy.

Rest in peace

 

[Dueling Banjos]

RIP Peter.

We had few conversations.

His posts were kind.

 

[Aussie Bruin]

This is terrible. Was shocked to see this thread. Peter was such a knowledgeable, articulate and friendly poster, and reading his obituary, I can see why. My condolences to all his friends and family, he'll be much missed here. Our little community has had a rough run of late - as cliched as it sounds, we must cherish what we have and make the most of the time we're given.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Awful. He will be missed by so many. :-( Such sad news.

 

[PB37]

Thank you Peter for helping to make this community of ours what it is.

You will be missed and never forgotten. I hope you enjoy next season with AOF up there.

RIP, good sir <3

 

[ODAAT]

Simply Terrible
RIP Peter

 

[BMC]

Oh my God no.

Along with his thoughtful posts and fair moderating I'm going to miss seeing his Chara in the bunny suit avatar.

May you rest in peace Peter.

 

[Fenway]

I played HQ Trivia head to head with Peter for over 2 years. He should have been on Jeopardy.

 

[JOKER 192]

Very sad , way too young.

Condolences to his family

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

So sad to read this news. Brings our trivial woes and worries into perspective. Gone way too young, condolences to his loved ones, he will be missed here in our quirky but close community.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Very sad to hear. I remember him as an astute poster. Lovely obituary; quite an accomplished fellow. Very tragic being so young. My heartfelt condolences.

 

[Gordoff]

I had a heart attack at 44 years old. When my wife called my customers to say that I would be out of commission for a while they all said "that young guy, are you kidding he looks so healthy." You can never tell the who, what, and when. My condolences to his family, he will be sorely missed for them and for us here. RIP.

 

[Alicat]

I am still in shock.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

I don’t have words.

So sad.

RIP

 

[bruinsfan1970]

Wow!!! Very Sad News. Peter was a nice person who was a joy to chat with. He will be missed. RIP Peter

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This news is so utterly tragic. Far too young and another great poster and fan here.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Don't think I talked to him directly, but my condolences to all affected and especially his friends and family.

 

[GordonHowe]

What a loss. He was such a good guy. Whenever anyone had a question he’d come back with such a complete helpful reply that you’d want to bookmark it.
Funny too.


I will miss him.

Talkinaway's avatar on HF was amusing -- big Z as the Easter Bunny -- and endeared me to him almost instantly. Intelligent, genial and respectful posts cemented my initial impression.

And, I always thougtht of the line from Ah-Ha's 1985 video smash "Take On Me."

"(We're) Talkin' away/I don't know what I'm to say/I'll say it anyway..."

You will be missed.
