My deepest sympathy goes out to Peters family. Peter was a great friend of mine years ago in Appleton. I was sad when I heard the news."Pete, my mother just past away late Sept. Youve met her years ago. Say hello to Marge and god bless you. I have truly missed the times we shared.

Craig and I will greatly miss Pete. He was a close friend to Craig for many years and I was blessed therefore with having him as a friend too. I'll miss his coming over to my holiday dinners and entertaining my father with his political discussions. He always made us laugh and also made us think of our world, our politics, our reason for being. We love you, Pete and we'll never forget you -- Craig Leiner and Petra Theurich

My deepest sympathies to Peter's family and close friends. He was loved dearly and will be missed daily. I had the pleasure of knowing him for far too short a time. His perseverance was extraordinary, his smile and laughter contagious, and his passion moving. Watching him at the piano was deeply touching and unforgettable. "Harry", you will forever be on my mind and in my heart. Thank you for the memories...

I worked with Pete at Astronautics we often ate lunch together and many afternoons he would show up at my desk to grab some candy from the candy bowl and chat for a minute. Seeing him always put a smile on my face.
One of my favorite things about Pete was how full of surprises he was. I am pretty sure that there is nothing that he couldn't do. I have never met someone with such a diverse range of knowledge ever.
Pete was always true to his own opinions and was willing to stand behind them, and also willing to fact check himself (as well as anyone who disagreed with him.) He was one of a kind and I am very, very, glad I got to spend time with him before his move to California, and I will not forget him. I can’t quite believe he is gone; my sympathies to his family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Pete's passing. I worked at Astronautics with him and took care of Syd a few times when he was a pup. Pete always made me laugh with his corny jokes.
My deepest sympathies to your family.

Pete was my next door neighbor on 45th St for several years. I remember him always working in his garage attic, landscaping the backyard, talking with the neighborhood kids, attending the Chicago Bluesfest, or taking Syd to the dog park. We his friends and neighbors would sit around an outdoor fire while Pete concocted some wonderful martinis. His laugh was contagious. He certainly knew how to have a good time. Pete was a loving and giving person and cared about those who were down -trodden. He fixed up properties in the inner city and was a beacon of light for all. He often talked about his sister and mother and certainly loved his family. He was a good man, one of the most non-judgmental people I have known. The world is a better place because Pete was here. ...Goodbye my friend, oh how we will miss you.
