Peter represented dignity and professionalism always.  He was a special, caring human being whose passing leaves a void.  I was sincerely shocked and saddened to get this news. Rest in peace wherever you are.

Peter, 
I am not surprised by all the beautiful tributes from so many. You have worked miracles for me through the years that I have been your customer and I have always been in awe of your talent and energy!  God needed an artist and we will miss you and your welcoming smile and wit! 
My condolences to Peter's family, friends and colleagues, I feel so privileged to have known him!

Peter, you have brought so much joy to the world and you will be missed so much, may you rest in peace

Dearest  big brother Peter, just a simple goodbye. l am missing you.

Dear Peter, my dear friend and mentor, we worked together, had fun together, within our beloved Redken days, always looked forward to your big hug, and smile at Redken trainings!!  Last time I saw you was at RAC training in Vegas  2014, we sat together the last day, I remember your special presence then by my right side, as I do now today and always!  With tears, and love, my friend I will miss you ! :) Diane Dugan

This is how I will always remember Peter.
Always smiling :-)
He will be missed by many

Peter, although it's saddens us that you had to go so soon, it is with great joy that we celebrate your life, your legacy and your spirit. Thank you for being here and I wish you Love & Light on your journey beyond.

Peter, it makes me very sad to know you are no longer with us. I still remember the oh so interesting and hilarious conversations we had at our NRAC'S over lunch, even though we only met a few times you were approachable and always remembered me. Such a humble person who many of us looked up to, you will be missed. I was fortunate enough to have met you.

Peter, your legacy is one of love, compassion, and joy. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talent. You will be loved and missed.

There are people we meet in our lives who leave an indelible mark.   They lift our spirits, enrich our lives, and bring us joy.
Peter, you were that and more to me and so many others.

Bless you.  May God keep you.   I now know another angel.
Sincere condolences to all of your loved ones.

Peter, I will miss you!  whether in the DR on a holiday or stuck at an airport together, working at Dop Dop or at a Redken event, I will always remember your generosity, kindness, and most of all our good laughs! 
You truly have touched so many and been such an inspiration to all.  
Cheers my friend

Peter made a mark in the industry he loved but he left a forever mark in the hearts of people who loved him.  A gentleman & a gentle man. RIP

Peter, I remember the day I auditioned to become a Redken Artist, looking accoss the waiting room you were there as well. We started talking and remains firiends forever. It was an honor working side by side and even hanging out per event on a Rome Beach. The world is a better place because if you. Day hi to all of our friends in Heaven. You will be missed my friend.

I am still in shock words cannot even begin to say what I am feeling I will miss you my wonderful friend until we meet again

Peter you were a dear sweet man with a big heart! It's with a heavy heart we bid you farewell..Angel kisses

Sometimes we are fortunate enough to meet someone special who stays with us through the years even when distance keeps us apart.  Peter was one of those people.  We met many years ago and shared some great times together. Peter was generous, fun and caring.  He could be my big brother one moment listening and helping and in the next, my partner in fun ready to have a good time. 

I will miss him but will keep the memories of the times we shared in my heart.

My life is richer for having known him.  
.

Peter will be truly missed-he was loved and respected by all who knew him

I remember the first time I met Peter so many years ago at a Artist Training. His knowledge of hair color was so amazing and I could have talked with him for hours. I will truly miss him so much for not only who he was as a beautiful person but his knowledge.

My Darling Peter, much sorrow fills my heart to hear you have left the world as we know it, what I say here is what I wrote to you just hours before you died;  sadly you never read the words but hopefully heard me tell you in the past…
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being the friend you were, for giving me the help and guidance since my Day 1 with Redken, for being a Star Leader and Mentor not just to me but to thousands!  I want you to know you are loved, respected and admired by many of us!
My prayers and thoughts are yours daily, with love xkx

What an amazing light of knowledge in our Redken family, his dedication to excellence was unsurpassed . Peter was an amazing mentor to me and countless others in our industry . I know he is correcting color and making beautiful blondes and ravishing red heads in heaven and having a Belvedere martini with a lemon twist at 5 pm . I will miss you my friend ??

Peter was a wonderful mentor and a awesome person . I am so greatful to have had the honor to work with Peter in classes . I will miss sitting by you at Rac's and catching up . Thank you for being you . You will be missed my friend

Peter was a great hairstylist, colorist and educator. He was the kind of person that you could talk to a year later and feel like it was yesterday. He was an amazing colleague and friend - one that was taken too soon. One that the industry and I will miss greatly. God bless you Peter and may you have eternal love, happiness and peace.

Peter my friend, I will miss you!
My prayers and thoughts go out to your family with much love.
I know you are already formulating some beautiful
hair color for the angels!

What a beautiful person, mentor, friend and colleague.  He has left a great mark in my heart and will be truly missed.

Although I only met him a couple of times, he always remembered me. He was truly an inspiration.God Bless you all at this time of mourning. I know he is looking down with God and smiling at all of us.

Live, Love, Laugh... Leave a Legacy.  Peter accomplished all of these in his time on earth.  His legacy will live forever with the people who he touched.  We will miss him dearly.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of his death.  He will be greatly missed.  I wish him eternal peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Peter is at peace now and is looking down upon us from heaven.

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel,
And flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow.
A bird gives the message back to the world,
And sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry.
People disappear, but they never really go away.
The spirits up there put the sun to bed,
Wake up the grass and spin the earth in dizzy circles.
Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime,
When they're supposed to be sleeping.
They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets
And make waves splash and tug at the tide.
They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes.
And when they sing wind-songs, they whisper to us,
"Don't miss me too much, the view is nice and I'm doing just fine.
