T Kilmer wrote a sympathy message

“I regret that I am not able to join the Celebration of Pete's Life, He touched and shaped so many lives. In addition to being an outstanding professor, Pete was an exemplary mentor and true friend who deeply cared about people. My daughters still talk about the afternoon we all spent together with Pete. His enthusiasm and words of wisdom shaped their pre-engineering lives, as well. I am blessed to have had such a beautiful soul touch our lives.”

“Very sad and shocking to hear this news! My heartfelt condolences to Pete's family! Pete left many significant marks and influenced many researchers including myself in our power and energy area. Just last summer, Pete received the highly prestigious 2022 IEEE Nikola Tesla Award, and he gave a presentation for his award at GM2022. All was impressive! And all is still vivid! I can't believe we lost a big visionary for our profession! RIP, Pete! 🙏”
