"Good Night, Sweet Prince"

Peter F. Warker





The Shakespeare Readers have lost one of our finest voices. A friend writes:

I bear sad tidings. Our dear friend and reader, Peter Warker, passed away on March 30. His death notice was in today's POST. Fortunately, I was able to get over and visit with him for an hour on March 13 at his assisted living facility, Bartholomew House, in Potomac. Joann Dann was there at the time; how wonderful to see her again too.
...
Peter was a prince of a fellow. He preceded even me at the Palisades so he must have been attending for a pretty long time. His death was peaceful, he had had his morphine shot, a favorite helper was with him, he made a sound and then drifted off. Good night, sweet prince.

... and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
