We are praying for you at this time of year to hold fast to your special memories of Pete. I am one of Eric's aunts and remember his welcome to us at Katie and Eric's rehearsal dinner-so genuine, filled with joy and love. This past weekend Katie was here and showed me wonderful pictures of her Dad, his life, and the service. I could see how many people he had touched. Our sincere sympathy to all the family.

God's peace be upon you.
Marcia and Jim Pickering

To Peter's family: Please except my deepest condolences. I have always felt a special connection to you because of the love that I have for your ancestor's lovely abode: the Meux Home. I have served the house for many years and have always enjoyed welcoming your family through it's doors and greatly appreciate all that you and Peter have done to support the museum.

Peter's mother and my mother were sorority sisters,and we lived about 3 blocks from Peter's home. I went to preschool with Peter and his sister Jennifer, then through Jackson Elementary, Longfellow Jr. H.S., and Roosevelt H.S. My closest relationship was with Jennifer, and I spent many overnights and Saturdays at their home. I always thought of Peter as a kind and gentle soul.

Pete was the kindest boss I've ever had, and when I have an ethic's question, I will always ask myself, what would Pete do. God has an attorney in Heaven.

Peter was a wonderful friend and we will miss him. He practiced law in my court for many years and he always brought wisdom and common sense when it was desperately needed. The effect of his presence in the court that deals with abused and neglected children could easily go unoticed by the community. But for those who work there, we know he made a great contribution to the children and families of Fresno County.
Thank you Peter and whereever you are, inspire others to fill the gap left by...

I met Peter in 1987. I have been his gardener ever since. He was a very pleasant man. On hot days he would even offer me a soda. I am very appreciative of what he did for me. He will be missed. He will always be in my prayers. May God have him in his glory. My condolences to all his family.
