Not sure what to say?

Peter, whenever I think of you it warms my heart to reminisce a bit. We may not have been close but nonetheless I considered you a friend. I truly admired you and your works, and I thought of you as one of my heroes. I'll miss you, Peter.

To the entire Fillerup family, although I remember Pete as a very young man, I was always struck with his smile, charisma and extraordinary artistic talent. He crafted his pure "Wyoming experience" into an amazing art form, reflecting his love of the West.

Sending all of the Fillerups my love and condolences at this time,

Christine McGee Krissoff

"Our family has been so blessed to know such a kind, devoted man to his religion and to his dear family. Your talent of art will continue to be appreciated and enjoyed by many. Along, with you in our hearts until we again on the other side! Families are forever."

We will all miss our dear friend and great artist Peter Fillerup; He touched so many of our lives.

So grateful to have known such a kind and talented man. I stopped into the shop a few weeks ago and had such a great visit with Peter & Lisa. When you're prompted to visit someone, do it! So glad I did!

To the Peter Fillerup Family, Please accept our sincerest condolences. We know as a father he will be very sadly missed and as a talented sculptor a great void now exists. I personally admired him as an artist and parent. The Buffalo Bill Art Show won't be quite the same. With kindest wishes, Gerald Shippen and family.

Until we meet again, my friend. Happy Trails.

Peter was a great neighbor, boss, friend, and mentor. I will miss him so much, he was always in my corner and fun to work with. He made a big impression on my life, and I certainly feel the void. This Valley, the artistic community, and all the little subtle jokers took a big hit when we lost Peter. I have never been able to drive down main street and see any of his work and not be reminded of the man who made them and it will continue to be that way! Whatever artists do in heaven I am...
