Bev, Gus, and John



My sincere sympathies on your loss. I enjoyed playing music with Pete, and working with him many years ago when we were struggling students. May God bless you all; I believe that Pete is keeping the angels happy with his spirit and music.

Peter was given "the voice of an Angel" - fondly remembered for giving and loving his remarkable talent of his voice - also, performing with him in Mississippi Mudds performances - a joy to know and to remember !

I love you all very much, and wish I could be home to be with you this weekend at the service. He was such a special guy, with the best talent; he made people happy.

Dear Coon Family

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Although I have not seen Pete for a few years I have many fond memories of him from High School. His sense of humour and ability to intrigue others through conversation will always be remembered.

I will always remember how Peter would have his band mates in stitches with laughter, during rehearsals with his wickedly wonderful sense of humor, and of course, our long conversations about music..

Beverly and family, my heart goes out to you. We never met, but I enjoyed a wonderful aquaintanceship with Peter in the arts community. I will always remember him bursting into song as he came down the aisle of the PCC auditorium as Curly in PCC's Oklahoma. He was a warm, friendly and oh so talented person and will be missed very much.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bev and your family. Peter will long be remembered in our house as 'Stephen Foster' in the Mudds presentation of Oh Suzanna. Such a talented young man.



Sincerly,
