Peter Gay was one of those rare individuals blessed with genius who walks with humility. I will always remember his warm smile and generous nature to help everyone. There are many people that will always cherish his memory, not only during 9/11 celebration, but throughout the year...

May God, in his infinite wisdom, grant his family peace as they commemorate his life...

I worked with Peter when we were both QC engineers at Raytheon. He was a smart,kind,joyful person who made his way to the top by sheer ability. I still see him with that big smile and I know that he is still smiling some place up in heaven.

Peter Gay also managed the TN Raytheon when I worked there.
He was a good and kind man, who tried to help me when the
plant closed. I will never forget him. My sympathy always to his
family. His loss is truly felt by all who were honored to have known
him.

I think everyone who reads and/or posts to this page will agree what a special person Peter was. I worked with him at Raytheon for many years, and it was a privilege to have met him. Thoughts and prayers are with his family, not only today, but every day! R.I.P., Peter!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gay family this weekend. We have the hope and faith that all our collective families will be together again sometime soon.
God Bless

My consulting engineering associate and I met Peter through his work with Raytheon. He was a very intellectual and kind person...

I wanted his family to know that he will never be forgotten. We have giant posters that are put on our lawn each year on 9/11 to conmenorate the losses we suffered. In addition to Peter, I lost my good friend Margaret Mattic who was trapped on the 83rd floor of the North Tower...

My family and I pray that God continues to soothe the pain in your hearts as you commemorate Peter.

Eight years later, I wanted to let Peter's family know that there are still folks remembering, and praying for you.

From what I can tell, the Gay family represents the highest of qualities with regards to individuals. Their legacy experienced a tremendous loss. Yet it seems that they continue in the faith of their family. And they do so without reward or recognition. I am humbled by their loss.

My husband, Medard Deprest, is related to Bruce DePrest. I found this out when I joined with Jan Deprest in Belgium and did the USA and Canada information, so Jan could make the family tree. I somehow found out that the father of Bruce's wife, Laurel, lost her father on 9/11. My prayers go out to all the families that suffered the loss of loved ones on this terrible day.

I was a pilot in Viet Nam, and my navigator was "Peter Gay" from Massachusetts. I lost track of Peter after the war and have been trying to locate him recently. He was a great friend and companion in 1970 and I want to let him know that I have thought of him often. If this Peter is one and the same, I want to share a few words with his family about the character of the Peter I knew in 1970 - 1971.

I worked at Raytheon in Andover, and Peter Gay was our plant manager at the time. I got to know Peter during the strike. We can to continue to work and cross the picket lines that which was so stressfull. Peter would greet all of his employees upon entering the facility, which really boosted our moral. That is when I got to know Peter. I will never forget Peter and grateful for the knowledge that he passed on to this employees. He truly was a remarkable human being.

I never knew you but we have the same name. After you died, many of my friends thought that I was on that plane. Your death helped me focus more on the value of my life.

Still thinking of Peter on this 4th anniversary of that awful day. My condolences to his family and hopes that you find some comfort knowing that so many other people feel the loss as well.

Post your memorial thoughts:

Share your feelings and memories of grief and sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories.  If you knew this person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with us something about his/her life:

  • what kind of person he/she was, 
  • what nice points you remember about him/her, 
  • what kind of relationship you had with him/her, 
  • what you two perhaps did together, 
  • what he/she meant to you, 
  • or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging for other people.

This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.

Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!
