John Peter Baumgartner

A true gentleman and a good friend. We shared a house together at lake Tahoe. I met Peter as I knew him at Santa Clara University. Our friendship grew. I was once a guest of his at the Bohemian Grove. Such a fine intelligent man. I miss him and our friendship quite alot.

Peter was a friend i met as an undergrad at Santa Clara University. He was in law school. Our friendship was instant. He was brilliant. We shared a house in Tahoe.l for many years. We shared a love of dogs and the outdoors.
I will miss Peter

We'll miss Peter on the River Road and during his drop-in visits at Tahoe. A wonderful man whom I'm confident is conversing delightfully with his friend, my brother, on the other side. We'll miss him!

Peter was a wonderful, wonderful neighbor. We will miss his stories, laughter and insight about world events!! May you and 'Slim' find each other on the Rainbow Bridge dear friend......

I just learned of Peter's passing. Rest in peace good and faithful servant. You are among the holy and beloved of God's precious ones. I shared many pilgrimages with Peter and enjoyed his level of theological reflection and expertise. I was especially grateful for the personal tour he gave us to his homestead and the San Juan Baptista Mission. It was a very memorable day, one filled with rich history, beauty and a deep love of California. You are missed, but must be ever joyous to be among so...

I met Peter through his long friendship with my Father-in-Law, Frank Lenahan. Over the years we were periodically able to meet and very quickly share a mutual interest in the military, history, and international affairs. A brilliant, kind man. I'm thankful that I had the opportunity to know him!

Peter was a very good person to so many of us. I will miss him.

I was shocked when I saw Peter's obituary this AM. Had I known he was not able to go to the Cathedral any longer, I would have gladly brought him Communion. Dear Peter will be prayed for at all weekend Masses at the Cathedral, and on our bulletin Beloved Deceased list as well.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy, love, and prayer.
