Not sure what to say?

In recent days, I was looking online at different websites related to the San Francisco Bay Area in order to help myself remember more in detail of the great experience I had in the Bay Area during the late 90’s. Sadly, today I came across the stories related to the death of KGO-TV personality Pete Wilson. Pete Wilson was one of a small handful of people on television and on radio (in my opinion) that demonstrated a high level of knowledge and common sense in this field. I remember...

It's been 38 days since Pete left us and I am still in shock. I miss you terribly. KGO is not the same without you anymore. Rest in peace Pete.

I'm so sorry to hear of Pete's passing. I've grown up watching him on T.V for the last 25 years. He was one of the Best Anchors on television. He will be missed.

Pete never sold out to any side and always carefully analyzed his options before making an informed choice on anything. No party line forever right or wrong, no lunatic fringe slant.... just common sense centered and balanced perspective every day in every way due to his practical and sensible midwestern roots of which he was proud and thankful.

Pete, I only met you in person once (at the Hyatt in SF) but I was always in your corner on both radio and tv. You were ALWAYS a voice of reason and common sense, when common sense is a not-too-common quality. You took the middle road 90% of the time, never failing to speak your mind, and show kindness to callers. I knew we were both the same age and I felt a kinship. I know in my heart you have gone to a better place. My prayers to both your dear wife and son.

You will be greatly missed. You died way too soon.

Pete: You had the gift. You were the best. Will miss you.

I can remember watching Pete since I first came to the Bay Area in the early 90's. He was without a doubt one of the best in the news industry. My sincere condolences go out to his family and to Pete, I wish you peace.

He will be missed by all.
