Peter was a fellow Hungarian University student also flatmate at Leeds University 1959/60. Totally brilliant physicist of course sailed through with first class honours. Used to revise by staring into space in our sitting room and occasionally writing down a complex formula. Married a fellow student from Iowa called Janet in his final year I was at the wedding in Holborn, London. Have fond memories, sadly lost touch.

I don't know you all personally, but I thought I'd leave a tribute as Peter was my mentor at Seagate Technology, circa 1996-1998.

As I thought I was a young hotshot who nevertheless was a little careless, he taught me humility. He said "it doesn't matter whether you make mistakes, it only matters if you can correct them."

I was so influenced and inspired by him that I looked him up a few years after Seagate Closed its drive center in San Jose. It must have been difficult for him after having advanced so many technologies and inspired so many people during his active years. During that call he expressed some sadness that after retiring he "wasn't famous anymore." Without having to think, I replied "you will always be famous to me Peter."

I still think and talk about him to this day! I will never forget you Peter!

Happy Birthday dad!  I miss you and love you very much. You have four grandchildren now! Wish you could have met them.

Happy birthday, my love. Your b-day present today was the reinstatement of environmental protections!  A better world for the grandchildren you never knew.

hey dad.... I miss you always. Every time I think I have it rough, I remember what you went thru--first Hitler, then Stalin- and I realize that I don't have it rough at all. I love you.

Missing you everyday. Love you.

Loving you always.

Happy Birthday, Dad..... Many Happy Returns of the Day, as Pooh and Piglet would say. :). We're all getting so old, aren't we? I hope the molecules that used to be you are doing interesting useful things. I miss you more than ever.

Hey dad. Happy birthday. I miss you everyday. You have a granddaughter and her name is Leah. She is 8 months old and we love her very much. I’m going to tell her all about you. 

Love

Dave

Hi Dad....
I wonder about death a lot these days. I keep thinking that all the roads we take lead to the same place, and all any of us have is the journey. I think of how you died.... your body hadn't quite broken down physically yet, but with the little bit of your mind that was left, you decided that your journey was done. I want you to know that I respect that decision and I love you. I still miss you. I always will. I know there is nothing on the other side of death. I know I'll never see you again. I know you will cease to exist in any form the day the last living person that remembers you, dies.
Regardless, I want to thank you for being one of the best parts of MY journey. I'm sorry I didn't choose better roads to travel. I'm sorry if I disappointed you. I mostly meant well. I love you.

Missing you as always. I sang your song for you yesterday. I hope you heard it. Love you always.

Your Son

David

Miss you dad. Thinking of you today. It's a sad day for the country. You wouldn't believe what happened. I won't tell you. Love you.

Glad David didn't tell u what happened today. Rest in peace, my love.

I will always miss you.

Thinking of my dad today... miss him.

I didn't get to spend enough time with Peter to feel like I knew him well. However, John's beautiful and touching eulogy changed that. He made Peter a whole person - loving, gentle and wise. What wonderful memories for John, Karina and David!
