I remember fondly our canoe trip with Joan and Kevin. It was our first and only meeting. But what a glorious trip full of friendship and good will. You impressed me as a thoughtful and kind man and a good brother to Joan. Peace.

Pete, always will remember roommates in CDM, hiking OC, Eagles at Firum with exchange students, talking baseball RedSox, Salt Company and Mariners. Monthly chats for last 20 years apart. I learned much from Pete.

Peter, you show me how to be fair leader to treat everyone equally, how to be a good advocate by not only saying the words but also taking action, and how to be a fine human being to care about others, starting with neighbor next door.
All good things must come to an end. Like a good neighbor, Peter you’re always there! Sincerely Yours

Our life was so much longer ago than California. I can bathe in the memories of us. You are Pete on my lips but Jess in my heart. The world would shrink if your memory died so we won’t allow that. I love you. Casey

We met in the early 80’s and you are one of my dearest. closest friends. You visited our family often and we had some fond memories golfing, playing basketball, jogging (you were fast). After our sporting outings, we’d always go to Marie Calendars for a slice of German chocolate. pie. We were in shape then and could afford a few cals, I remember the time we went out in Oxnard to buy you a new car (Nissan Maxima) and you drove off the lot and ran out of gas just several blocks from the dealer. You were livid after a day of haggling the dealer, but we still got pie. We had some great laughs, I’ll miss you Pete, Love-Harry
