Peter Solomon

We lived a mirrored life running basketball fighting forest fires. I am roughing basketball tonight and will have him in my side thoughts. Thanks for the story & memories

FYI folks,
Peter was a fellow firefighter,
ballplayer, and friend.
We engineered around quite a few flame fronts,
both on the fireline and on the basketball courts. Peter worked for me often when I was a Strike Team Ldr,
Initial Attack at State Forestry. He has a great legacy there as a superEFF.
I supervised him with Fbks I in many a tricky situation. He was a great Squad Boss. We played against each other in hoops, creating an intense rivalry. We then...

I was a Sector Boss for State Forestry when he was on the notorious, but very effective Fairbanks I Crew. We have the same or similar adventures. We were together on the Canyonville Fire above I% in Oregon. The Tom Toms were going on that fire, with the local native crews and our Alaskan Crews getting together. Peter was a very serious squad boss, he would not let you cut corners, and was very vocal.

My uncle Peter made a huge difference in my life while I was growing up. He was the first person to take me to the lower 48. He brought me and his son billy to Disneyland, Sea World, and Las Vegas numerous times. I looked to him for support and guidance- he always encouraged me to finish school and I will miss his voice and advice. May you finally rest in heaven with your love, my Aunt Geraldine. I will look after your son and keep you in my heart forever. Miss you dearly Uncle Peter.

What a wonderful man with talent to comfort those with his music. I remeber when he played the guitar and sang at my prents funeral.

As a former AFS/BLMer and sometime co-worker of Peter, I can say it was an Honor and a Privilege to have known and worked with him. I will miss his strength and grace and humor. My heart goes out to his family.

Hi
We sorry to hear of Peter's passing. It brought back many fond memories of Gerry and Peter during their short life together. At last, they are both smiling on heaven's golden shore. May God bless Peter's family and friends during this difficult time. Walter & Darlene Lord (Fairbanks / Kaltag).
