Peter Marchand

Another year gone by and another Legacy email reminding me of the passing of an old friend from my childhood summer days in Pinecliff Lake NJ. I will always cherish my memories of Pete ! I wish I had kept in contact with him over the years . Anyway my thoughts are with him today and also with Irene, Joan , Hank , and Jack. I´m a sentimental old guy so I can be contacted by email or cell phone . [email protected] or 917-831-0594 . Leo

We're in weird and difficult times, bro, and I'm thinking of you when I listen to Mott and Muswell Hillbillies and when I see the news that the Giants split a couple games with the Dodgers, baseball persisting as it does. There's so much in our lives now that we couldn't have imagined when you were here, but thanks for being with us in our hearts and souls and memories, you're helping us through -- I can tell you for sure that you're helping me and I would bet the same is true for others.

Last couple of weeks I've been in touch with Pastels bandmate Simon Somers on the East Coast.

I jammed a bit with our bandmate Ken Smith last August. Wish Pete could have been a...

The only memories that I still have of Pete were made over 50 years ago. Pete and I were basically just summertime friends in Pinecliff Lake , New Jersey. Our houses were two doors away . Him and his family lived there all year round while for my family it was just a summer house . Then the family moved away to Secaucus and I only saw him when he would come back to stay with his Grandmother who operated a dry cleaning business. I wish we had stayed in touch as we grew up but unfortunately we...

I knew Pete from NJ. I have lived in California for about the same time as him. I ran into him a few times over the years. I just found out he passed away many years ago. May he rest in peace.

I look around me and feel you are ever so close to me.
Each tear that flows from my eyes brings back memories of you to me.

I miss you Pete and I love you.

Tomorrow I will have a special toast to the toast master himself. Miss you Peter.
