May God be with you during these sad days. Hopefully memories of much happier times will soon over shadow the sadness. Our family will never forget Peter Flagg and all the things he did with and for Dad. We especially appreciated his generosity to Dad and Betty for so many years, after Dad's retirement. Peace and love.

To Peter's family -
I was lucky enough to grow up across the street from the Flagg's and will always have such wonderful memories of those years. My favorite memory being at my 12th birthday party - when Pete Sr walked into our back yard with a saddle for my birthday present! A day I will never forget - among many others. Peter was such a kind and genorous man. My condolences to all.

My deepest sympathy to all of Peter's family whom I got to know well, many years ago, when I was his secretary, fresh out of high school, and doubled as babysitter when he and Juanie traveled. I learned so much from him, and was the recipient of his generosity on many occasions. He was a strong, positive influence in my life. I have only the happiest of memories of the years I was privileged to know him.

I often think of my time boarding my horse with Mr. Flagg when I was at school. It was a good time in my life and I will always remember him fondly.

To: Cede, Peter Jr., Julie, and the rest of Peter's family.
Peter, has had more influence on my life, more impact in my career, that would be impossible to repay. He relished in providing opportunity for all those who came to know him and if they were lucky, work for him.
There is hardly a day that goes by that he doesn't cross my mind in some fashion. He takes with him a unique legacy. One of benevolence and kindness. He will always be my mentor, my hero, and my inspration.
God bless him, and my deepest sympathy and condolences to you all.

Dick
