From reading his posts, it sounds like he really enjoyed his life. I am sure he had a positive impact in his world and the people he came into contact with.


Boy did he like funny cat photos.........

While its sad to see Peter go, he did more in his 40 years on earth than most people would do in 400 yrs. He lived his life to the maximum and you couldn't really ask for anything more. May he find eternal peace and continue to inspire us all.

Wow. Like others, I only knew of Peter on these forums, but its still a shock. He led a full and inspiring legacy behind for all, though. Reminds me of a phrase in the song "Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp:

When you look through the years and see what you could
Have been oh, what might have been,
If you'd had more time.


Don't wait for tomorrow as life truly IS short.

Thanks for all your advice, Peter!

Wow. I'm saddened Mr. Catman, and don't really know what to think or say. We weren't close, but I busted your chops when you were around and you helped out always. You left us to soon, and I feel as though you may not have known how many appreciated you.
May you rest in peace. Godspeed.


This is a bit of a reality check, as Peter (and many others) did and said a few things on this board that made a difference in my life.

Being only a short distance away, I had it in the back of my mind that I needed to hit him up when he came back around (I should have done it six months ago when I first thought about it) and offer to take him to lunch or buy him a drink... just to say thank you and maybe get to know each other.

Here we are today.

I don't like the way that lesson makes my stomach feel and it will stick with me.

I didn't really know the guy (Unless he used a different name on the RichDad forums from the old days?) -- but it's always sad to see a fellow traveler's light extinguished. Best wishes to his family, and I hope he really went out well.

This is quite sad, although I came around a little late to meet him. I am sure his wealth of knowledge that he shared have and will continue help me and many others through these forums. Or at least bring a little cat humour into ones life, which can be argued is much more important. His posts and memory will live on.

Seeing the above pics Dana (Peter's GF) posted this morning saddened me to no end. Although we all have heard our elders talk about "cherishing the time you have" and not taking life for granted, a situation like this truly brings the reality of it to life. Due to Peters private nature, I am sure to an outsider he appeared to have everything (business success and wealth, huge muscles and good looks, a beautiful GF by his side, exotic cars, etc.). His untimely passing proves that once again, without your health nothing matters... :( As MJ said..the fact that NONE of us on any of the forums he requented knew about his illness is a true testament to the strength of his character.

I sincerely hope Dana visits this forum as well so she can see all of the friends Peter had and the lives he touched.

Once again...RIP buddy...you will be dearly missed. :(

I'm still in shock. :( For some reason, I'm expecting to wake up one day and find out it was just some stupid joke, but the reality is setting .... he's gone. :(

I'm feeling the same, it's shocking that I live thousands of miles away from him, never met met him and only spoke with him online, yet this I'm feeling really sad about this and this whole week I've been in shock!

Thank you to all Peter2 lovers for all your concerned caring posts for Peter. I have spent the past 7 years time with him, and know he would be touched by all the kind words you have written.

Someone made up and printed false information that Peter was terminally ill. There is no truth to that whatsoever.

Thank you all for caring about our "P".

Sincerely, Dana:heartbeat::thankyousign::love1:

Thanks Dana, sorry about the misinformation as I will correct that.

My condolences to you and your family.

As I said on LP, thank you again Dana for checking in to visit the forums Peter had frequented. I was hoping you would be able to see the support and friends Peter had all over the world, and I am glad to see you stopped by.

All the best and God Bless.

Dana,

I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and all of Peter's family. While I didn't know Peter, I always appreciated his input on these forums. He was clearly very wise and knowledgeable.

I also enjoyed the little glimpses we got into his life. I remember being extremely impressed with the number of languages he spoke - and having the impression that he made it a point to live life to the fullest.

We were blessed to have him on these forums.

Sonya

The past few years my life has been nothing more than climbing mountains.

When I typed "millionaire forum" on Google I thought I was going to be rich in a month or so. I figured the journey was almost over, when in reality it was just starting the ascent.

Reading PhxMJ's story and ideology's along with every other Great story on here were just my first few steps up this new path I never truly noticed before.

I now know more than enough to get started on the next mountain.

The past few hours I've been reading every post Peter2 has written, as well as all the kind words said about him. There are few people in this world I'd openly admit wanting to be like, but he definitely IS the kind of person I want to be.

Peter2 may be gone, but now I'm starting the next climb and this is thanks to him.

R.I.P
