In the 34 years of my real estate career, I have never met a more giving person than Pete Gutterman. He represented the best in our profession with his willingness to share his wisdom, his positive attitude, his humility, and his sense of integrity. He was one of my favorites. My condolences to his family and friends. He was a great man.

Truly will be missed. I worked with Pete for 20+ years and never felt I worked for him! He always was interested in how my wife and daughter were doing on a daily basis, and the only thing he ever did was care that I was doing what was best for me! The world needs more loving, caring, people like Pete. We love and thank you Pete!

I grew up with the Gutterman Family in Colchester. I rode with Peter to classes at Uconn. I then worked for him as an agent.
We shared many memorable thoughts over the past few years when we met at the office.

Our hearts go out to Peter's Family. If you knew Peter, you were fortunate to know what a warm and caring person He was and if you knew Him well, you also knew how God intended every man on this earth intended people to be. If a better person exists, I do not know them. Rest in peace Peter, your family and friends know you did everything right.

Roslyn and family,

Ellen and I are so sorry to learn of your loss of Peter. We left the Hartford area 3 years ago and I did not know of Peter's illness. I have fond memories of my periodic lunch dates with Peter where we talked about the status of Connecticut real estate. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

I attended high school with Peter and we were in several classes together during our four years at Bacon Academy. He was a dear friend, a joy to know, and he could always made me laugh. I'm so sorry we've lost him--my sincere sympathy goes out to his family.
