An email from some relatives was posted on a similar thread I made on
LinkedIn, that confirms he passed away in July as a result of his
illness.
Sad…

All,
I (and others) only recently were made aware of Peter's passing.
Xilinx will respond (soon).
We were extremely fortunate to have Peter as an employee, and I am
personally quite sad, as he and I edited each others papers, posts,
and articles.
Not to mention the fun we had here on comp.arch.fpga together.

Those who've been on this newsgroup for any period of time will
remember Peter Alfke, the Xilinx legend, and his infectious
enthusiasm. He was a great help as I got into FPGA design 8 years ago,
as I embarked on the academic track. I met him at a number of
conferences, and he was just as wonderful in person. He gave some real
life to the newsgroup and has been sorely missed since he stopped
posting.
A tweet that carried the news:https://twitter.com/xilinxtraining/status/126857481812066304
Our condolences to his family and friends; he will be sorely missed.
Suhaib.
I think he's the only one who wrote poetry in comp.arch.fpga

Very sad, a great loss.
Peter had so many virtues, but I'll remember his generosity. It never
failed, even when he had to explain metastability for the millionth time.

Sad news. I didn't knew him personally, but I remember great articles
from him, like "Unusual Clock Dividers":
http://www2.fiu.edu/~vjaya002/vlsi%20BOOKS/clock%20dividers.pdf
and many interesting articles in this newsgroup, which helped me a lot
when I was a FPGA newbie.
