Not sure what to say?

I loved Pete Brink....He was not only a tremendous mentor and teacher, but a wonderful counselor for me during my first days as a manager at HP some 40 years ago. I saw a quote from one of his co-workers that struck me as the epitomy of Pete's career at HP "....if you cut him, I'm sure he would have bled HP Blue". In over 35 years of working with Pete, I never saw him not try to make the best decision for HP as a company or HP's customers. I was always amazed by his diversity of interests,...

I am very sorry for the loss of Peter. I served with him on the o5/06 Grand Jury and was very impressed with his abilities and kindness.

Norma, I was so sorry to read of Pete's passing. My wife Janet and I moved here to Auburn 5 years ago , and, I often thought of looking y'all up. I should have done that sooner. You and Pete were our landlords in Sunnyvale for about 20 years (we rented your house on Mallard Way).
Pete was always such a kind and fair man.
Your family will be in hearts.
Jim Klumper & Janet Klemba

Our prayers to you Norma, Michael, Karen and "Pups" Lori....We cannot imagine your numbness. Peter will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Gentle Giant...Memories of childhood and his Bug collections..He was a good man. Love, Susan Parker

I was very sad to learn of Pete's passing. I met Pete at HP where I was privledged to work with him. Pete was a fountain of information and life lessons. I remember Pete giving my kids a tour of his valuable insect collection and even giving them some of his rare ones for "show and tell". Pete was a great man who will be missed tremendously. My thoughts and prayers go out to Norma his family.

Pete was a friend of mine as a co-worker at Hewlett-Packard and as a hunting partner at the HP Duck club. I've always considered him a gentleman and will miss him greatly
