Peter Barthelmes Obituary
Peter graduated from Fairview High School and went on to Edinboro University and obtained an Associate Degree in Social Work. Peter worked for 20 years with at-risk youth as a child development specialist in Erie County. The children "Mr. Pete" worked with held a special place in his heart. Peter played in the band the Acoustic Refugees and his favorite gig, because he could take his kids, was playing for The Golden Gloves fundraiser each year. Peter loved camping and always kept the fire going with music, jokes and endless conversation. He will be remembered by his children for his love of music, Jeopardy, The Simpsons, the Raiders, and his undeniable love for their mom, Paula. Peter married Paula Rene Anderson on May 16, 1998.
He was preceded in death by his father, Terry F. Barthelmes, who passed just two short weeks prior to Peter's death. He is further preceded by his Golden "Reteaser," Abby.
In addition to his wife, Peter is survived by mother, Lita Lander Barthelmes; brother, Scott (Linda) Barthelmes Pittsburgh, Pa.; sister, Lori Barthelmes Yukon, Okla.; children, David (Brittany) Anderson of Erie, Jesse (Shaddow Walters) Anderson of Wattsburg, and Tori (Alex) Cochrane of Fort Drum, N.Y.; and granddaughters, his pride and joy, Leyla, Lauralie, and Lainey. Peter's pup, Shelby, and kitty, Sylvia, never left his side.
Special thank you goes to Dr. Brian Viviano, Dr. Eric Milie and Dr. AJ Farris for never letting Peter give up hope.
A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at St. John's Lutheran Church, 2216 Peach Street, on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 3:30 p.m. with the Rev. Erik Young officiating. Memorial contributions may be designated to the family through the Scott Funeral Home, 2104 Myrtle Street, Erie, PA 16502.

I had the wonderful privilege of experiencing the joy and hope Mr. Pete offered to his clients as I worked alongside him at the school. I will always remember how he generously shared his amazing talent, especially at our Kindergarten Fun and Free Stuff events, and how he had such a sincere love and compassion for the children he served.
Praying that God will Bless you and give you Peace at this sad time.
