Peter and I met in 1990 at Imperial College, London when we were both students from Hong Kong wondering what life had in-store for us. Since the Imperial days, Peter was always cheerful, committed, reliable, passionate and helpful to all the people around him. Peter visited Sydney in Jan 2018 on a business trip and we had a coffee together near his office. I remember him saying there was no need to go out of my way to see him but little did we know the world collapsed with the pandemic in such a short time. « Peter: A man who was passionate, committed and intelligent in everything he does should be remembered as such and no less. » Rest In Peace my friend and have a drink for all of us who will miss your friendship dearly ! Gable from Sydney, Australia

大表哥 always had time for me as the youngest of our family of that generation. He always spoke and treated me like I was somebody with something to say and a soul with something positive to contribute to the world. Even though many years passed he always checked in on me and whenever he did I’m always reminded of what 大表哥 meant to me and how as always for the past 40 years has always carved out time for me (no matter how slack and hopeless I am). I don’t have the words to express how much I miss u to have had the opportunity to tell you how much you actually influenced me through your ethereal ability to have kindness, patience, capacity for love is beyond belief and you made every soul that had the blessing to have u in their life in any shape or form feel safe and loved. I can’t and will never be able to say goodbye because you will always be with me.

It was always a great moment when Peter would stop by our room on his regular social rounds of the office. We would chat about everything, technology, music, cats, and very occasionally work. He always had an entertaining story about various periods of his life within Instinet and outside, and always with a warmth towards everyone. He would always end those conversations as he headed out with "More later". I will miss him a great deal

What a legend! Peter hired me in 2020 in one of the best interview experiences i've had. I loved his energy and spark especially his penchant for story telling. It was a Friday and being the end of the day I assumed he would be itching to leave. Cue a 1 hour chat about Instinet and me trying to hard sell him to get the deal done over several stories. He was also immensely relatable, empathetic and loving in nature. I am gutted that I won't see him but I am so grateful he improved my life no end. Enjoy sipping from the chalices in the clouds Peter.

One of my stories I always tell about Peter was when I traveled to Hong Kong with my wife and the three of us went out to dinner. Upon sitting at the table he had a gift for her of a tea that when you put it in hot water it turned into a flower. The gesture was as genuine as he always was and he immediately endeared himself upon my wife. This was especially beneficial for the next 15 years as about once a week she would wonder who I was talking to at 10 PM. I miss those talks. Peter had a wisdom and an outlook like none other that I have known before. My heart breaks for his family and for all who will forever have an empty space in their soul once filled by him. I miss you my friend.

I've got so many Peter stories. I wish I could share them all. I think it's a true reflection of the man that so many of us can say this. Peter was a lot of things. A logician, mathematician, and a philosopher. He was even a talented musician. And I often tried, over drinks, to convince him to go on tour with me. It would have been epic. And I promise you, we would have tore the roof off of Ultra. This loss is immeasurable because he was immeasurable. But knowing him is a gift that surpasses infinity.

Peter created his ‘mask’ just at the start of the pandemic!

Peter Lau is and has always been one of the kindest humans around. I will never forget things like taking me to his little back corner cave Office in the Centre and just talking to me about moving around the world and that was around to help if and when I needed something. After briefly mentioning I was moving apartments 10 years ago, the next day he brought in a sound system for me. This generosity was ever-present. Most recently I always enjoyed the positive way of thinking about the world, his laughs in his office over whatever he had that he was always more than willing to share and the conversation would always turn to me, or the other person and not about Peter. He was always trying to help others and secretly I think guide them through life - as I know was present with me. I can't really thank him enough but I certainly had more to learn from Pete and I'll look to continue that with him in mind.

I met Peter at 1999, when we work together, IT in Instinet is only a small team. The First Project we work together was Millennium Bug. We had worked together for about 18 years. He was not only a Good Boss, also one of My Best Friend. Till Now. I still can't and don't want to believe He had left us. Hope He can has a Good Start on the Other Side. Always Miss You.

Peter, your door was always open whether in office or at home. Thank you for your guidance at work and your friendship outside. I and my family will keep dear memories of you. Rest in peace friend.

This might have been one of my first (of many) nights out with Peter. I was privileged to have known Peter for so many years. He was always so welcoming, and so quick to accommodate everyone around him. He loved his home and was always excited to share it (and it's food!) So many fond memories of my visits, sad I'll never get to make him take me to Crystal Jade one more time. :) RIP Peter,

Peter was a true gentlemen. I have great memories about my trips to Asia and spending time with Peter. He was always so warm and welcoming. We always shared a good laugh and looked forward to catching up again on the next trip. One of the greatest things about Instinet is the people and Peter was a great one!! I will truly miss him. Until we meet again. Luke

A steak and fries lunch on a very rainy day. I feel like we ended up waiting for Peter because he went and bought umbrellas for everyone or something very characteristic of Mr. Lau.

What can be said about Peter that doesn't sound like hyperbole? Peter was truly just an angel of a human being. The kind of guy who was actually interested in the photos of your baby or who honestly was eager to hear all about your vacation. Caring in human form. Peter loved to do lunch or drinks and to just catch up outside of work. Since he knew it would take five attempts to corner me, he would ask me over and over again until I submitted to lunch or drinks. He just wanted to be with his friends. Always ready, willing, and able to help -- whether it was in his wheelhouse or not -- Peter was one of life's Helpers. The hours he spent advising me on phone specs, listening to me go over the pros and cons of this or that piece of electronic, or helping me set up routers (I bought off him because he needed an upgrade) on a Saturday night! Peter got such a kick out of seeing me spend money. The biggest tribute I could pay him was my late afternoon round trip ferry ride, cab fare to Queen Mary, and my tribute dinner in IFC Mall in his honor. Like me, Peter loved musical theater. In fact, he was the only person in my life, outside of my family, who knew the songs to Pippin (my favorite show). Only a couple of days before his untimely passing Peter sent me a YouTube link of "She Loves Me" one of his favorite shows. I always got a kick out of Peter's sense of humor. There is nothing I will moss more than Peter’s practical joke Zoom backgrounds and his horrible sense of timing when it came to joke telling. The thing I miss most about Peter is just not having him around. The person I most want to talk to right now is Peter Lau. I miss him every moment.

Saying goodbye to an old friend today (online) wasn't something I expect to do at this stage of our lives. It has brought our old "Queens Gate" circle of friends together again to remember the carefree days at imperial college, 33 years ago. Although we regularly chat online in whatsapp group, we always dream about reunion somewhere on a beach :) We met up with Peter in summer 2019 for lunch (photo with inset of his uni hall room in 1990) as usual have whenever I go back to HK. Little did we know it would be our last. Peter was the same warm, funny and genuine guy that we all knew back then. You'll always be in our hearts, and as always, will visit you next time that i am in town, my friend.
