PETER2: In Memory, R.I.P.

[MJ DeMarco]

This forum, and more importantly, this world, lost one of its greatest assets, Peter2.

On Oct 8th, Peter2 passed. I don't know all the details as they are still being uncovered.

You all know, Peter was an inspiration to many of us and was the most successful person on this board. I can confirm that Peter was very private, humble, and modest. He lived with no regrets, we shared a love for the Lambo marquee, and had a knack of injecting cat humor into any conversation.

For me, Peter was like E.F. Hutton -- when he spoke, I shut up and listened.

I am saddened that he departed this world too early and without warning.

It just shows us that time and health, not money, is an asset that we all take for granted.

Friends, this is a sad reminder that we can always make more money. It is infinite. Our health, our time -- it is not.

Peter, Godspeed ... may you rest in peace, you will not be forgotten brother.

MJ

Peter2, you touched countless lives and helped thousands of people through your thoughtful posts and attitude.

I am stunned and saddened that we will not be learning more from you-- but your wisdom and humor will stay on these forums, as a testament to your life.

I am deeply saddened by these terrible news! It's amazing how many lives he touched even though most people only knew him from internet forums!
You brought humor to the board combined with priceless advice!
I live thousands of miles away and never met him in person, yet I was extremely sad waking up to these terrible news!
Peter, may you rest in peace, you will be truly missed!

Peter2 was an honest man with great and insightful advice. I have PMed back and forth with Peter2 and SteveO probably the most on this forum. I was wondering why he had stopped responding. I cannot thank Peter enough for all his help.

Those who never got a chance to talk to Peter can still learn a great deal from all his posts here.

It is truly a shame that he was taken from us before his time.

Coincidentally, I was listening to some very sad music when I got the news, but I think it is appropriate and beautiful and should be here in the thread for all to hear

Being that I never knew Peter outside of the forums (ie in real life), I am having a much harder time dealing with this then I would have expected...I have logged into the forum where it was announced dozens of times in the past few days..hoping that he would suddenly post up and reveal that a cruel rumor had been started, or that he had been overseas for months helping family members (possibly reclused from life for a while). This has just been very hard to take..

As the reality sinks in that he is truly gone, I find myself wishing I had gotten to know him better. Its unfortnate that we sometimes dont realize just how special a person is until its too late....

Peter was the type of guy who reached out to help you in almost ANY thread he posted on. Hundreds of members have been impressed with his knowledge and touched by his compassion over the years in the many online communities he frequented, and his death is truly a difficult blow to bear.

For anyone that dosent know, Peter really did excel in EVERYTHING he did. In the late 90's, he turned his life around drastically and became an EAS Nutrition Grand Champion, winning their famous "Body of Work" competition, and turning himself into a bodybuilder in the process! This was something he shared with me via PM a few years ago, and having followed and known about that competition for years, I was in awe to be talking to a TRUE Champion in life.

Godspeed Peter...you will be missed more then you could imagine..and I hope you know just how many lives you touched over the years...

Supposedly he had a terminal illness of some sort and let no one know in the forums he hanged ... I think that is a testament to his will and strength ... he didn't want a pity party.

I had emailed him once or twice with silly little questions. He always took the time to give me well thought out answers.

The fact that he used his last years/months/weeks on earth to help others (instead of being self indulgent) says a lot about him.

Quite a guy.

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:

Peter2 has been such a great source of cat humor over the years, not to mention business advice and positive energy.

I didn't know him well, only well enough to say that he was one of those rare individuals that never put limits on his thinking or ideas. In doing so, he packed several lifetimes into one. He may have passed at an early age, but one thing is for sure: he died living.

...Peter, we will all miss you terribly.

 

[Yankees338]

You'll be deeply missed, Peter.

Thanks for all of your lessons and contributions. You will never be forgotten.

RIP.

I am so sorry to hear. Peter was nothing but quality.

While I never got to know Peter as most did, I looked over some of his old posts the other day and must say that he left behind a legacy of giving, whether it was the gift of valuable advice or just flat out humor. The sad thing is that while I registered here in April, I didn't really become active until late Sep after he had gone missing and I did notice that we posted on some of the same threads and his passing reminds me to be thankful for getting to know everyone as well as looking forward to meeting all who are attending the B&P!

It just shows us that time and health, not money, is an asset that we all take for granted.

Friends, this is a sad reminder that we can always make more money. It is infinite. Our health, our time -- it is not.

This sums it up, all the money in the world can't stop the inevitable, while we are all sad, as someone said, "he died living!" and while his time with us was short he had a good ride!

RIP Peter! :smx3:

Look on the bright side guys. If you can connect with and accept the fact that you are infinite consciousness that just came here to experience a training ground for thought, idea, and matter formation. You can only imagine what he is capable of without the physical shackles of this reality. I don't know if any of you have ever heard of the "Magical Approach" where you are capable of turning thoughts and ideas into instant matter while benefiting all consciousness around you. But, if you read his posts you can clearly see he WAS living the Magical Approach whether he consciously knew it in this life or not. And that is probably the greatest achievement towards value fulfillment of ones life.

A lot of great ideas came just from his posts. Just imagine the life he lived!

RIP - Hope you are having fun swimming in the abundance of infinite energy and creation!

My thoughts are not to focus on what has happened in a negative manner but, to focus on his life and his contributions in a positive manner.

Peter, you will be missed. Alot. I didnt know you very well, and now i wish i had gotten know you as some had. You're an inspiration. Godspeed brother. Rest in peace.

My condolences,
DJ

My heart dropped when I noticed the thread title over at LP had changed. As I said there and as it has already been said here, his posts were nothing but quality. If it wasn't enjoyable to read in humor, it was enjoyable to read through the wisdom and knowledge he brought to the table.

I have no doubt in my mind he is loved and missed by many more outside the community of the forums. His family and friends will be in my prayers.

Peter, although I joined this forum after your last post, I still enjoy reading your posts and threads. Your legacy, in the form of advice to budding entrepreneurs, will allow others to enjoy the same degree of success that you did.

 

[Runum]

You will be missed.

 

[djs13]

When I first joined this forum, I pmed Peter with some specific questions and we got into several detailed discussions. He was extremely helpful to me and patient. He will be greatly missed.

It's so sad to read this!

This needs to remind us all that it’s not about the money. We need to leave behind something bigger, something that transcends time and will change thousands or millions of lives.

That’s what living the good life is all about. Peter certainly did that.

RIP

 

[KyJoe]

That's really sad news, RIP

Rest in Peace, Peter. This is incredibly sad news, and a huge loss to not only his family & friends but also the many communities he contributed so immensely to.

It is true that what you leave behind through your inspiration to others is far greater then the riches one accumulates in life. He left with everyone a wealth beyond reckoning. Godspeed Peter.

 

[dkt91]

God speed you, Peter. You have always been a great man and your death won't change that. Stay with us in the forums - I know you're somewhere out there!

Sorry Peter.

 

[Rawr]

He left us wanting to listen and learn so much more, that is a very hard trait to find in a person today. RIP buddy

 

[michael]

A sad loss, I never asked any questions to him directly but I have read many of his posts here and he seemed to be always willing to help the members of this board.

Fortunately as yveskleinsky mentioned he has lead a fulfilling life and died living which is something we should all strive for especially considering that this event again gives us an example of just how fragile life it.

RIP Peter and condolences to his family.

He is probably up here right now:
