Over a year has passed sincce the darknest of shadows fell over this earth as the deepest of loss blanketed all who were privileged to have known Peter Kohn. Daily he is missed.  

My thoughts and heart with you George and Jutta and Christina.

Dear Peter, I was very saddened when I heard the news. You were a wonderful friend to me and to Christian.  Our lives crossed several times at different places and occasions and I'm so glad they did. I enjoyed our dances and dinners get-togethers with friends. It was a pleasure working with you as well and talking to you about architecture/engineering projects, about music and arts, and just about anything. You're so missed, my friend. My sincere and deepest sympathies to your family, friends and loved ones.

Peter will always be remembered in my heart and those of us from the Yale School of Architecture.  My thoughts are with your family.

I am greatly saddened by the loss of a good neighbor and friend.  My heart goes out to George and Jutta during this  difficult time.  Peter will be missed here at 91 Olive.

Peter, I have such happy memories of you from high school and just thinking about you makes me smile.  I feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to know you.

To Mr. and Mrs. Kohn and Christina, please know my thoughts are with you.

George, Jutta, Christina: I heard the awful news from Murph a week ago and extend my deepest sympathy for Peter's tragic loss.  I will be thinking of you today as I cannot make the wake or service but will contact you soon.

Peter and my son, Wael, went to Yale together. I met Peter in New Haven and immediately felt he was like a son to us. 

He and Wael surprised me in January 2007, on my birthday, by flying to Abu Dhabi for a few days. We had such a great time. 

It hurt me deeply when I found out what had happened. We love him very much and I wish the Kohn family all the strength in the world. Our family is fortunate to have known him and we will always consider him as our son and a member of the family. 

We miss you Peter.

Peter, was always a good friend with a big heart. 

I met Peter while working at Centerbrook. We quickly became good friends. I miss him very much and remember our 2007 trip to Abu Dhabi fondly. He was always open to new opportunities and had great drive to achieve something big. I always believed in him and knew he was on the cusp of achieving his goals. When around him, one always felt that everything you want to achieve is right there, just around the corner, waiting to be  built or designed. I truly believe that the world at large has lost a man of tremendous talent and a true blue friend, a man raised by caring and loving parents.   

My heartfelt sympathies to his parents and sister. 

Wael & Maria El-Dasher

Thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. and Mrs. Kohn and Christina.  

Pete,

We wish to thank you for your friendship that you shared with us.  You have gone soon but you won't be forgotten.           

Love,

Andy, Lynette, Will, Mason

My thoughts and prayers are with Peter's family and friends during this difficult time.

Peter and I were friends and classmates in high school.  He was truly a unique person – so well-rounded, so brilliant in the most difficult subjects, yet so modest and down-to-earth at the same time.  I remember Peter as being very supportive and helpful, someone who was extremely mature at a young age.   He was also a fun guy, even a little mischievous.  It came as no surprise that Peter chose architecture as a career, fitting for a “Renaissance Man” such as himself.  Though his time here was cut short, I have no doubt that he served as a role model to many, myself included, and that he had a meaningful impact on our world.

I'm very sorry for the Kohn's loss.  A pillar of our neighborhood growing up, so many vivid memories flood, big smile, his constant push forward, his love for rhubarb and throwing almost anything he'd walk by... a stone, chestnut... always aiming.  Great kid that I wish I had known as an adult.  Luke, Sean, Miles, Leighton, John, Peter, etc... forever in my head.  I'm not shocked by his accomplishments, he worked so hard and had a great family.  I'm very sorry for your loss.  Rest in peace Peter.  Bingo

As quickly as the word of Peter's death arrived – I was thinking of the almost daily trek across the field, knocking on your garage door and asking Mrs. Kohn if Peter was able to play.  I was carried to an era of my life – and many others I presume - that I hope for all children – countless friends, safe trouble, and endless things to do. 

I have great memories of being with Peter and Sean M., the Carltons, the Davids, the Nolans  - playing soccer, throwing chestnuts, hanging out in that red barn, and in the summer sneaking into Mrs. Kohn's garden to eat her Rhubarb. I  also remember Peter sharing Ricola (sp) cough drops  years before they were popular- weird I know but it keeps popping up in my memory. Then to the years of kid  and travel soccer teams and the endless practices in the Parri's yard.  

I have such cherished memories of Peter and I am honored, and thankful, to have shared so much of that important part of my life time with your son.   

All of the McFaddens send our thoughts to Kohns - God Speed Peter 

Luke

I am so sad for my best friend, Christina, and for her family. Peter was a talented, accomplished, loving man who will be sorely missed. Love and prayers to the Kohn family.

George and family,

Ann & I were saddened beyond belief by Peter's untimely passing. 

I can remeber back to my short involvement as a youth soccer caoch and having Peter as a member of the team. 

I remember Peter as the nicest young boy who was always in the game and never needed too much direction .

Over the years, George, it was always good to hear from you how good Peter was doing! 

I know there isn't much we can say that can make you all feel better but you should understand that Peter was a young man that this old coach remembers with much fondness.

God bless Peter; we will pray for him and also for the family that God will walk with you though this difficult time.

Prayers to all he left behind.  Praying that the Kohn Family finds peace in this untimely and tragic loss of family member.  I will never forget the Liberty Street Gang nor their families.  Saddened by this loss.

Prayers to those he left behind,  some day we will play again childhood friend.  I Pray that peace in this tragic loss is found.  God Bless

My thoughts and prayers to the Kohn family during this difficult time.

My brother Luke grew up with Peter on Liberty Street.

Peter we be missed by those that were fortunate to have known him.

In Sympathy,

Trip McFadden

My Thoughts and prayers to the Kohn family.

Peter was a great neighbor who spent more time with my brother Luke.


Peter will be missed by all that were fortunate to know him.

To Peter's family, I was saddened to hear of Peter's passing and pray for peace for you all and the comfort of the countless precious memories you all must have of your times with him.  God bless and be with you all during this time.

My heart breaks for you, Peter, Jutta, George & Christina.  We all pray for your family to have the strength to somehow get through this.

So much promise and so much more potential to be realized lost so tragically -- in a moment's time.

Our Madison neighborhood in the 70's and 80's on Liberty Street, Neptune, Barberry and all the rest of those little cul de sacs was an idyllic and special place for parents to raise families and for children to grow up.  We will always remember Peter as part of that group of remarkable young people.  He had so much to give to a world to which he had already contributed greatly with his extraordinary intellect and talents.

We'll never forget...not you, Peter, not Mark Rosenblum, and not Sean Sullivan.  All lost much too soon.

My deepest sympathy.

God Bless Peter!! May you run swift and free towards heaven. 

Love, Kimmy David

Dearest Jutta, George and Christina, 

I am devastated to hear of Peter's passing. So many neighborhood memories of him at the beach, riding through the streets and the many football games and shenanigans at the Mcfaddens!!

We were all one big happy family which makes his passing such a hard one . He was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed.

Sending a good old fashioned Barberry Farms hug and sending you strength to get through this very difficult time.

Lots of love ,


Kimmy David (Martin)

Pete,

I was and am heartbroken to hear about your death.  I looked through the pictures and both the soccer and track ones bring back a ton of memories.  You were fearless and intense when you ran. It was admirable and inspiring. Yet your smile always revealed the warmth underneath all of that intensity.  I feel fortunate that I had the chance to know you throughout our time growing up in Madison and my heart goes out to your family during this difficult time.

Peter, you were the truest of friends - kind, compassionate, loyal and genuine - and my family and I are so thankful to have known you.  We will carry you in our hearts always.   

To the Kohn family, you are in our thoughts and prayers.  May you find some measure of comfort in how well-loved Peter was, and in knowing that he left this world better than he found it.  

With deepest sympathies,
Mary Kate Morton Geraghty, Peter Geraghty & Barbara Morton

My thoughts are with Peter's family.  He was a loyal neighbor and a talented person.  I will miss him too.

You were a swift runner, a sincere friend, and a brilliant guy.  You set a model to follow for perseverance and dedication.  My deepest sympathies to your family and those who cherished you most.  Godspeed.

Peter- The time that we shared as childhood friends will live on forever. The adventures through the neighborhood with Luke, the games we all played and yours, Lukes and my birthday just days apart, I wouldn't change a single moment/memory. You are an amazing person, loyal friend, and a fine Gentleman. Our neighborhood was one big family and I always considered you as my brother. You will always be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers to your Mom, Dad, and Christina. I love you and I will miss you!

Your friend/brother,

Sean
