Comments on: Peter Gideon [Rivaz 1956-67] passed away https://oca.marketingsavvy.dev/2012/07/peter-gideon-passed-on/ OLD COTTONIANS ASSOCIATION Fri, 10 Oct 2025 13:54:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Vishwa Nath Sood https://oca.marketingsavvy.dev/2012/07/peter-gideon-passed-on/#comment-854 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 16:04:25 +0000 http://oldcottonians.org/magazine/?p=3454#comment-854 I was acquainted with Peter’s family. Jimmy was also a friend during our young days. Last I heard about Jimmy was longtime back when he was in Hyderabad (No news after that). Had a chance meeting with Peter on a few occasions at “CHEOG NEST” and in town. Peter was a very nice and soft spoken man. It seems unbelievable that he is no more. May his soul rest in peace!

He was full of life and I think his body just couldn’t keep up with him. Bishop Cotton School was an integral part of his life, both when he studied there and when he chose to go back and work there, and it’s extremely touching to see the affection that people associated with BCS have for him. I’m going to miss my father terribly, but I know that now that he’s not confined to his body – he’s going to explore the mountains just they way he used to love doing it earlier in his life. Regards Sarah

Very good at dramatics and quite different a personality, from James his elder brother.
In his quite way he made a warm likeable impression on every one.
Sincere condolences Sara and Vivaan.
RIP dear brother cottonian.

Remember him very well from the time spent in BCS when he was there, although he was senior to me. Not only was he a good actor and musician (with The Cats I think), but he was a very warm hearted person, just like his elder brother Jimmy. Deepest condolences to Vivan and Sara, RIP Peter, hope your journey onward is happier and brighter.
