Peter O.E. Bekker

Loved reading this again. Peter will be in my heart forever as well. xoxo

So many years gone; a light that burned so bright. Miss you my friend.

Pete--i'm so happy that I reached out to you when you were still living in Washington state, and you told me everything that had been going on in your life including working for Microsoft, which didn't surprise me actually because of the time I knew you in New York, how absolutely brilliant you were. But it was in the field of music that I looked for your name as a producer on some album by some group, and I never found your name back then in that field. Every condolences I read about you...

I was just thinking of Peter the other day and felt again that strange sense that he is in the ether about me when I received this email reminding me that it was 5 years since his passing. He is still present.

Peeb! My dear old friend starting from the third grade thru Junior high and all the decades after. You enriched the lives of me, my brother, my sister and my mother and every person you made laugh with your
constant and often irreverent humor. You were my mother's "other" son and her wake would not have been tolerable or complete without your hilariously induced giggle fits. Thank you again for that!
At this moment, all of those who loved you could use
some of that hilarity and...

Peter, Peter, you were brilliant beyond words, and had wit to match, and you have always burned bright in my memory. I wish you could hear this ---I had been looking for word of you for quite some time, and I am sorry that this is the word I am hearing. May you rest in peace, and at the same time stir up some fun and trouble wherever you may be, and my gratitude to the people who loved you and cared for you until the end. With love Heidi

Peter old friend. Our friendship reaches back to Mitchel Field Air Force base when we were teenagers. You were always the coolest guy, recording studio in your basement, doing black and white photography, and generally being as irreverent as the times allowed. I didn't know you were ill and you didn't know about my brother John, your old band mate dying. I am so sorry I didn't reachout. I was thinking of you the other day and when I googled your name up came this obit. My heart goes out to...

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50)
