Lo siento por tu perdida.

RIP Peter Rondstadt - I remember back in the early 60s when I was a Police Records Supervisor at the TPD. Peter was a fairly new Police Officer. One evening shift Peter came into the Records Section, very red faced asking who owned a certain car parked outside (It was mine). He said his Sargeant asked him to go inside and find out who the owner was as Peter had "hit my car" and he was very upset (I think mainly because there wasn't any damage). I went out side to check as Peter's Sargeant was...

Here was Pete, front right, with his group The Nightbeats in 1959. They had several hit records including Lonesome Road Rock.

I knew Pete in high school. In addition to being a quality person he was a very talented singer. He recorded for me on the Zoom Records label and was our number one artist. Working with him was always a pleasure. His loss is a loss not for just the family, but also the community, and actually everybody in the world that enjoyed his singing voice. Rest in peace my friend. You did good.

Linda and family I am so sorry to hear about this. May Heavenly Father keep you in his care and comfort each and every one of you. In love and and friendship, Sharon Martin

My Condolences.

Such an amazing family . Michael , Gilly , Ruth , Jim Brady & Peter changed my life in 1973 ( after my Mother´s murder in Tucson July 1973). Michael , Gilly , Ruth , Peter forever in my heart ! He will be missed by so many !

To my beloved Ronstadt Family. The friendship and joy you gave through many years will forever be unforgettable. When you dropped everything and played for my Wedding in Ventana (even secretly did the dishes ), I will never ever forget a single moment of that love. Micheal has his buddy back and are most certainly filling Heaven with your happy tunes and talent. I, we, will never forget you for a single moment. Love, Jodi Swickard

I did not know Peter when I was the head of the FBI in Tucson, but I interviewed him while doing background investigations in the early nineties. He was very professional and transparent. My deepest condolences to the family.
