Pete and I were Clasmates at Arlington H.S. '61. I am pleased to have known him - and to be included amoung his friends. I am sorry I was not in closer touch - My best to his family.

I had the privilege of working with Pete while at Lockheed Martin. He was a true gentleman with a great attitude. We shared an interest in Special Olympics events, where I last saw him in 2001.

Dear Margie and Family,
I am so very sad to hear of Pete's death. All of us at Vought enjoyed working for Pete so much during the years on the Western Pacific Air and Missile Defense Architecture Study (WESTPAC). Pete was a very intelligent person, supportive and trusting of his subordinates, and fun to be around. We here at Lockheed Martin have missed, and will continue to miss, Pete greatly. I wish you God's peace, that passes all understanding. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With deepest sympathy,
Bob Bardo

May Pete's family draw strength in knowing that the Lord has spared him from the terrors of these last days: Isaiah 57:1-2. Pete was an AHS classmate of mine and I know he will be sorely missed. ~~Bonita (Lindsey) Quesinberry, AHS 1962

I graduated with Pete Sparrow from Arlington High School. Didn't keep in touch until a few years ago thru e-mail. He responded to some of my AHS Class of '61 News e-mails. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Worked with Pete a number of years ago at LTV. For a short while we carpooled. A very capable young man who achieved much in life. Best wishes to his family.
