While I did not know him, I remember meeting him at a few conferences in the UK and spending an hilarious evening at the pub. When <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://amzn.to/2mMwUan">the book</a> came out, I thought it was quite fine an introduction to Bayesian Statistics, with enough mathematical details and prerequisites to make it worthwhile studying, while also including computational recommendations. Fare thee well, Peter.</p>
