He was 67. On April 5,
He is survived by his wife, Kayce Freed, his two children, Elizabeth, 25, and Christopher, 23,
and his sister, Sarah Jennings.
"Peter died with his family around him, without pain and in peace. He knew he'd lived a good life,
" his wife and children said in a statement.
In announcing
"For four decades, Peter has been our colleague, our friend, and our leader in so many ways.
None of us will be the same without him.
"As you all know, Peter learned only this spring that the health problem he'd been struggling with
was lung cancer. With Kayce, he moved straight into an aggressive chemotherapy treatment. He
knew that it was an uphill struggle. But he faced it with realism, courage, and a firm hope that he
would be one of the fortunate ones. In the end, he was not.
"We will have many opportunities in the coming hours and days to remember Peter for all that he
meant to us all. It cannot be overstated or captured in words alone. But for the moment, the finest
tribute we can give is to continue to do the work he loved so much and inspired us to do."

ABC News' Colleagues Talk About Their Memories of
fondly today. Here are some of their words:
"Nightline" anchor Ted Koppel: He and I joked the last time I went to visit him a few
days ago that between the two of us, we'd put in 83 years at ABC News. … But I do feel
the need to say that he was a warm and loving and surprisingly sentimental man. … For
the rest of his life, and I do mean for the rest of his life, he always regretted the fact that
he had dropped out of school, and he used to travel when he was overseas with whatever
else he needed for his trip and always, he had with him one extra suitcase that was filled
with books. He was a student for the rest of his life, even though he had dropped out so early.
Barbara Walters: No one could ad-lib like Peter. Sometimes he drove me crazy because
he knew every detail and I would find myself saying, 'But … but … .' But he really did.
You would think it was all scripted, he was so poetic. But it wasn't. … He just died too young.
And if as Ted gave the message [to] finish high school, I want to give a message: If you have
kids who are smoking, for heaven's sake, tell them that we lost Peter.
"Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer: When I first arrived here at ABC and
walked in, and he was on a special report about the Middle East, and he told the cameraman
to turn around because, he said, I know that if you go two streets over, there's a cafe there.
And look behind that cafe and there's a park and the trees are there. And I'm thinking,
'I am so out of my league. I've got to leave immediately.' It's customary to say, 'He will
not come again.' Peter Jennings will not come again.
