Peter J. Lira

You could not find a kinder man - so sad he went so soon.

Natalie and Family, I extend my heartfelt condolences to you all. Nobody could have done more to maintain his health than Pete which makes this seem so unfair. We both started at JHS the same year. From the first time we met and ever after he treated me most respectfully and he in turn was respected by his students and peers. Those who didn´t know him would never have guessed what a great athlete he had been. He never talked about it. He was always cheerful, never lost his tempter and made me...

Thank you, Pete, for your lasting impact of physical, mental, and emotional fitness and wellness on this community.

Pete was a good guy...he always listened and gave advise if he could. He was a wonderful teacher,especially with the handicapped kids. He was a good father that I got to watch his girls grow up...which they were the light in his eyes as he was in their's... He will be missed My deepest sympathy

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Pete Lira, father of Ms. Kelsey Lakamp. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May his memory be eternal. Jeff and Jennifer Baker

Mr. Lira was a great guy, rest in peace.

Pete was a wonderful, caring man. His work with my students at JHS was amazing. He truly cared about people and made a difference for all who came in contact with him. Condolences to his family.

I always considered Pete one of the good guys. I was able to teach some PE with him my last year at JHS. He was a good colleague. I also enjoyed talking to him about plants. He had a nice collection at his home. Rest in peace. Sending hugs to Natalie and his girls.

He was a great coach and a great man. He will be missed.
