Not sure what to say?

Pete was a dear friend of mine. So sad that he passed. We graduated in the same year from Miami Edison Senior High School Class of 1964. Chaplain Bill Reno

Rest in Peace my Edison Red Raider brother. I played at Edison in the early 70's.

Watching some old Giants games and I was reminded of the joy with which Pete played football. I became a defensive back and played through college, in part, because of number 45. He was pretty cool.

Loved our times at UT and in Blowing Rock, Pete

Pete was my treehouse buddy in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. My sister Sheila & I remember Pete's handsome Greek looks as we grew closer during those summer mountain adventures. Having a crush on Peter Athas was inevitable. His energy, sense of humor and quick wit will always stand out in my mind. Rest in peace sweet friend. See you in the big treehouse in the sky.

Pete ! What a fantastic memory I have of you as we were kids loving life at the Miami Shores Community House. You were bold and extreme in all sports especially football.You were kind and funny and fairly tolerant with me as YOU took the time to teach me ping pong and knock hockey!! I still play ping pong to this day!! I so admired you.

my cousin, my hero, big brother. will always love you. May you find peace. Praying that the news i heard this evening is mistaken but in my heart i fear it is true. May you and little peter find light and happiness.

miss you

Always a fan favorite.
