Gamba was just 63 when he passed due to the novel virus, leaving behind his wife Jeanne and their two daughters Michelle and Julia.
Of Gamba, Bravo execs Rieveschl and Bernstein wrote that he was ‘a hell of an editor and would proudly call anyone in to his bay to show them some funny scene he had just cut, laughing the entire time he played the clip.’
They continued: ‘His edit bay was a refuge for anyone seeking counsel, a moment of quiet or a much-needed escape.’

The beloved editor ‘loved to make people laugh and he did it well.’
‘Peter cared – he was proud and humble. He worked his a** off no matter what scene he was cutting or what show he was working on.’
Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen spoke of Gamba during the most recent episode of his talk show, where he labeled the beloved editor as ‘someone very special to the Real Housewives and Bravo family.’
