    I'll always remember Dapper as one of the kindest people I've met here at Princeton.

    Peter was a great guy with a work ethic like none I have ever seen. He was kind and caring and will be greatly missed.

    How strange and tragic that in a matter of weeks two young alums fall to their death doing what they love, namely hiking and running.

    To both, RIP

    The article above truly expresses what made Peter Norman Curtin who he was. He was a scholar, a gentleman, and above all else a friend. As Nick said, Peter had more best friends than just about anybody else. He was the kind of guy who would have been best man at my wedding, and he was more of a friend than I ever could have asked for. Remember him for all the good things: the latenight beers at TI, the helpful study tips when he had his own things to worry about, the omnipresent smile, and the goofy gait. Peter did not possess any bad qualities - he was truly exceptional. Let his simple life approach - do not waste time and always do something fun once a day, his brilliant mind, and his exceptional work ethic set an example for all of us who remember him.

    Dapper, we will all miss you, and you will forever live on in our hearts.
