Not sure what to say?

peter was a kind man and helped me in high school when i was being harassed he took the time to walk me to class until the jerks moved on, thanks pete you will never know how much that meant to me xx

Very blessed to have known Peter and the work he did for Fairfeilds in NC. Jack and Ilse Bauknecht, MI

I remember Pete from SHS. He always made everyone feel special. He is a integral part of memories of our high school years. It was great to reconnect with him on Facebook.

First met Pete when we were students at Alta Vista and we shared many classes throughout school. Pete had integrity, long before we knew what that meant. He was smart, kind to everyone, and had a well-developed sense of self, or seemed to. I always liked him. I always admired him.

Pete was a very nice guy to me when I was in transit to Germany and upon my return. He was such fun. Offered jokes. Was interested in my time in Germany. And helped me get in the rhythm of Sarasota JR High. Thru high school I always looked up to him. He seemed to be so truthful and honest. But loved to joke around and put my nerves at ease.

Remember Pete as a friend of my brothers I'll never forget the time my mom let my brother drive home from a swim meet over the Skyway I was scared and had my eyes closed and Pete said"we're over the bridge and opened the car door but we were at the TOP of the bridge!!" I will never forget that day!! Pete was a funny guy Sorry for your loss

PETE:

Thanks for Mitch Ryder, the Dirty Gator, and PBDB's. Happy Trails.

I was a classmate of Peter's at Dartmouth. As seniors we were able to live in the fraternity house, usually in 2- or 3-person rooms. Pete, ever the free spirit, chose to live on the top floor in what must have been at one time a janitor's storage closet. It had no windows, it was barely large enough for a mattress on the floor, but it was fine with Pete.I spoke with him a few years ago, and he kept steering the conversation back to me. Few people do that. We have lost a real good man.

Notice of Pete's death just came via Dartmouth Alumni magazine. We were roommates, along with Russ Adams, for our first two years at Dartmouth. The obituary is lovely and tells a great story of a life. I'm remembering my own Pete stories today and they are pretty consistent with what others have said. Still, as April winds down, my heart is heavy. 'Cause I always thought that I'd see Pete again. Peace and Blessing to Sarah and all, Brad.
