I remember listening to Peter on the ABC radio station as I drove frantically home from school on the morning of Sept. 11th. I heard him as he watched the second tower fall and I remember the long silence. I could hear the tears in his voice as he tried to help us understand what was happening. I watched him on the TV when I arrived home with his shirt sleeves peeled back and his heart shining through.
Damn this cancer and all that it steals from us!
We will miss you!

Sad to see him gone. I was just reading he announced it last April. I am wondering if it was advanced when they found it like most of the time it is.

Perhaps for the last decade, ABC news was THE network news we always watched. Therefore, I was watching in April when he announced that he would hope to return to the anchor chair as he needed to battle lung cancer.
Needless to say, I continued to watch ABC news, hoping for his return.
I'm not one of those that worship celebrity, but cannot help feeling sad about his passing.
