Mr. Straube was my 1st period film studies teacher in 1980-81 the year that I graduated. He was a really cool teacher. We watched many black and white films such as Casablanca then he had us break them down to their essence which gave us insight and appreciation. We were separated into groups and each group had to make a short film. Then those films were shown in the auditorium to the rest of the school under the name Funky Films. I wish I had a copy of that film we made to show my children what I looked like at 18 years old on film lol.

Dad,
I can't believe it has already been a year since you left us. I miss you dearly but get the chance to witness your spirit, wisdom and sense of humor reflected from kids every day. Your presence lives on.
Love always,
your son

Mr. Straube was my teacher at DeLand High School in 1973. He was a great teacher and I am sure he will be greatly missed. He is an angel now watching over us all. Thank you Mr. Straube for the memories.

Mr. Straube was my film studies teacher in high school and to this day I not only remember his words, thoughts, voice and laughter, but also the movies he loved to talk about and share with us in class. I often still refer to the things he taught us to appreciate and notice, in films as well as in life. He touched many lives in many positive ways and shall be missed and remembered. My sympathies to his loved ones who knew him best and will grieve the most.

Pete was a lovely man. His was the first wedding I ever attended: he and Nancy Hodges married in a lovely ceremony at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in DeLand. I had occasion to meet him several times since over the past 46 years, and I was always impressed by his kindness.
Rest in peace, good man.

Mary Ann, my sincere condolences to you and his children. Pete will always be in the hearts of those who worked with him at DHS. He added warmth and wit and was always there to help out a stressed out teacher, esp this one.
