I was very sorry to learn of Mrs. Petersen's passing. I spent a lot of time in my teen years in her kitchen on Courcelette talking about politics. She was always welcoming, well-informed and funny. She was a great motivator for aspiring political scientists like me. It occurs to me that I am the same age now as she was at the time. I hope I can act as positive role model for my students the way she did for me. My condolences to the family.

My condolences to Hans and Pat's sons. Pat was my instructor for urban politics at the University of Toronto. She inspired my interest in urban issues and politics, an area that is a focus of my research. RIP, Pat.

Years ago Vicky Casey introduced me to Pat and Hans and it was always a happy time to run into them on their walks in the Beach. I will remember Pat as a bright light - witty, eager, and ready for adventure. Condolences to all her family.

Pat was an institution on our street and she knew everyone. As neighbours we became friends and attended the same coffee group (FIKA) of which she was a founding member. We will miss her bright inquisitive mind, interesting discussions and her laugh. Our condolences to Hans and his family.
