Harry Houdeshel Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 23, 2017.

In Loving Memory
On July 13, Pete was finally and peacefully overcome by his 6-year struggle against Alzheimer's, Diabetes, and a failing heart. He was a pilot by trade, and a golfer and photographer by passion. His greatest gifts to his family were his love, support, and the travel opportunities provided by his flying career. His greatest gift to our world was his passion for photography, both as a photographer and a teacher. His biggest pleasure was playing golf at the Willow Creek Country Club. He is survived by his brother Marc; sister Jo; wife Kathy; son Dasch and his wife Megan and daughters Maviny and Sabrina; and son Cassidy and his wife Maura and children Aria and Koston. May adventure and beauty in nature always remind us of you.

My heart is broken to hear of Pete's death. He was my first and best photography teacher at Yellowstone. His gentle spirit and enthusiasm for images inspired me to continue. When I looked for his address to send a card and could not find it, I thought he might have moved. Instead, like my dearest husband, David Weber, he instead went to rest. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He gave so much, and I wanted to thank him again. I loved his spirit and great willingness to share. He sent me a lovely photography book when my small book was published. It was a great act of love and inspiration and I shall keep it always. May his spirit comfort all who knew him, and especially his family,

Pete was the best second baseman ever to play for University High...and one of the nicest people I ever knew.

It is truly a sad day for me, but I take solace in knowing that God has properly greeted Pete...with a golf cart, new clubs, fair weather and 18 holes a day. RIP, buddy

Pete was a good guy and always a good golfer. I was a classmate from University High School in Bloomington, Indiana. So sorry to hear about his passing. My sympathies to his family.
