Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the Dunn family. Pete and Jeanne presented their BBR cabin keys to Don & me when we were moving to Black Butte Ranch in 1988. He told us to stay as long as we needed until we found a rental to stay in while our new home was being built...that's friendship. He and Don were at Grant & the UofO together...Jeanne too. The ties to old friends from Grant meant a lot to Don and the Dunns were a big part of that.

I had only known Pete for a short time, but he always greeted me with a warm smile and a hello. It was always a pleasure seeing him sitting behind the desk at the Claremont Golf Club chatting with residents and friends. My deepest sympathies go out to his friends and family. Pete shall never be forgotten.

Sorry to hear about your dad, he was always very nice to me. Trips to the Black Butte house are always a good memory. And, his album Time Out by Dave Brubeck made me a life-long fan of Brubeck.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

May God be your stronghold during these hard times. Nahum1:7

Grandpa Pete was the greatest Grandpa a kid could ask for. He cared deeply about his family and friends. I am very fortunate to have had this wonderful man in my life for this long but the truth is, he will always be with me. The fond memories will last forever as there will always be a special place in my mind, heart and soul for Grandpa. He loved to tell stories about his family and friends, sharing the many experiences of growing up in a different era. Now it's our turn to share the many...

My sincere condolences to the family. My late husband, Wayne, was another Grantonian.

Our condolences to Pete's family for their great loss. A really nice human being, he was a long-time friend of my husband Bud who met weekly with him and their other Grant High buddies at the "Tilly" Tavern and Raccoon Lodge for lunch over many, many years. Since my Bud passed away 4 days before Pete I like to think that their friendship will continue wherever their next journey takes them. I love the photo you chose, and will remember Pete with respect and affection.
