My sympathies to the family. As a former TLAB-er for over a decade, I
certainly admired Mr Guglielmi. A very positive, very well spoken man.
Though I did not know him personally, thinking of him makes me think of many good times while at Tellabs. My prayers are with you

Dear Jeanne, Kimberly, Darianne and Family:

I have many fond memories of Peter. His drive and passion to live daily as well as the effort and determination he brought to this battle were inspiring.

The passion he had when he spoke about you, his garden or hunting always left a smile on my face.

I'm honored and glad to have known him.

My prayers will be with all of you.

With deepest sympathy,

Dear Jeanne, Kimberly, Darianne and Family:

I am very sorry to hear about Peter. I worked with him quite a bit in years past; he taught me many lessons. Peter is one who always left a lasting impression on those who had the fortune of meeting him. He will never be forgotten.

He was a very strong-willed man and he put up a good fight. There is no doubt the loving support of the three precious women in his life gave him much inspiration.

Please know that my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Robert Duda

Jeanne & family,

Jeanne, I am so sorry but yet relieved a little that Peter is not going through the pain anymore. He was such a positive person that I thought he would beat this.

Peter spoke so highly of his family. When he would say anything about you all, he would have a smile-like expression on his face while he was talking.

I only knew Peter since May of 2004 when I joined JDSU. Working with our Board members has been a joy for me because they are all so very, very kind, however, my two favorites are Peter and Dick Liebhaber, who I just found out was a long-time friend of Peter's. I am blessed and fortunate to have worked with Peter.

With heartfelt sympathy, I am sorry for your sorrow.

Please, Jeanne, if there is anything you need or help with Peter's "stuff", please feel free to call me. My cell: 408.464.5786 so that you can reach at any time.

Please take care.
