Greg, you surely photographed Peter. He always judged at TCEC. He was an odd one - his accent often made him to appear kind of slow. But he was well loved by the community and generous with contributing his time. I spoke with Master David DeJesus, who is a very good friend of Peter's, and another stalwart TCEC judge. Peter was always helping out Master Chiu Chi Ling.

Peter passed sometime around 2 AM today. He's one of those guys that I've known in the wulin forever. I didn't know him well to be honest. Beyond his connection to Chiu Chi Ling, I'm not sure what other styles he practiced. He was a good friend of another friend of mine, David DeJesus, who has been keeping me in the loop on what happened. Apparently he felt bad on Wednesday night, threw up and passed out. When he didn't rouse, the ambulance came and his aneurysm was diagnosed when he got to the ER. He was already brain dead but they kept hi on life support until his son could fly in and be present at bedside. Peter was on a heart med, but I don't know the details. It was all very sudden and shocking.
