Peter John Simpson

After all these years I still think of Pete and I miss and think about him a lot. I was his friend and regret not hanging out with him more in his final years. He taught my kids to ski. We did a lot together at Forestry and in his private life. Ever a friend, always a smile, a true Firefighter, loyal, Forester. Great times, great man, best of friends.

Pete was our task supervisor for the Helitack Techs of the " Hunker Bunker" A giant of a man and a huge heart he did things the Simpson way, which was to add challange to the task at hand, I am glad to have spent those years, and to have worked close with him, to have been Wild in the wildlands with this lumber jack of a man.

I will always remember Pete's exuberant laughs and friendship hugs in the office. Thinking of the family here in Texas! Ruth and Darryl Earnshaw

After reading Pete's obituary,I wish I'd known Pete better. I'll always remember Pete's big smile the day Kathy and I encountered him in the middle of nowhere, the Taylor Highway during fire season. Cocktail hour will never be the same without Pete telling the story. My condolences to family and friends.

I can think of no greater legacy than the smile that warms my heart whenever I think of Pete. Losing such a vibrant, positive force in our lives and our community diminishes us all, but we must be consoled with the knowledge that he lived a full, large, boisterous life each and every day. Pete was unbridled joy and I am blessed to have known him.

Big Pete, you will be missed.
