Dear Peg and Family,

Since I learned of Pete's passing yesterday, I have relived the many memories I have of times shared with you and my parents, Ann and Norm Norton. Vivid recollections come to mind of you ascending our front porch steps and of Dad getting out the famous Lowenbrau beer glasses. By the way, my 23 year old son has them today! I remember hearing the laughter eminating from the kitchen and listening to all of the stories of your Seventh Lake adventures with "Pop". To me, Pete was the air of calmness and he was always a true gentleman. My father considered Pete to be one of his dearest friends and the last time I saw both of you was at Dad's funeral 2 years ago. Although I miss my parents everyday, I buffer my sadness with the extraordinary memories I have of them and their dear friends, THE CLUB. May your memories of Pete bring you and your family comfort during this difficult time and May God Bless you always.

Love,

Maureen Crook

Dear Mrs Campon & Family
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will never forget the night in Seaside with Mr.Campon at Jack and Bill's having a couple beers and solving the problems of the world. I always enjoyed Mr. Campon. I know how he was loved and how much he will be missed. Love to all. And always remember how he made your heart smile.
Love to all

Dear Aunt Peg, Petie, Pat, Peggy and Pam,

Dannie and I and Marnie and Jamie and our entire Texas family were saddened to learn of our Uncle Pete's passing. Dannie and I fondly remember him as a fun loving, yet very caring and loving person that we, too, will miss. My recollections of him are many and go way back to the time I was a very small boy during WW II... a little boy he called "Mike". Dannie and I always thoroughly enjoyed being with our Uncle Pete and Aunt Peg. Although Dannie and I aren't able to be with you today, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love to you all,
Phil and Dannie
