Peter was known by most of us as one of the most brilliant members of our NHS Class of '64.  News of his death so early in life, right after graduation from MIT, was a shock.  I am grateful to Anne Henderson for researching Peter's death and supplying the following information.  (Fred Brack, webmaster)

I did a bit of research and learned about the death of our classmate.  I don't know if this useful to you or not, but figured I should send it on anyway.  He died on August 24th or 25th of 1968.  (Anne Henderson, Nov 15, 2013)

Peter graduated from MIT in June, 1968. He had been published ("Steady flow viscosity of aqueous hydroxyethyl cellulose solutions" in the Journal of Polymer Science, Part A: General Papers, Volume 3, Issue 1, pages 411-413, January 1965.)

After his death his parents established a fellowship in his name at MIT, which continues to this day.  While individual links previously listed have expired, you can find current information about Peter's Fellowship here (as of July 2018).

Peter was buried in Green Bower Cemetary in Gardner, MA, plot 405.
