To the wife, children, family and friends of Mr. Peters, I just found out that he had passed away in April of last year 2020. I was truly heartbroken, he was a wonderful teacher. I was in his History class when he taught at Edison Jr. High, during the years 1967-1970. My condolences to the family. May he Rest in Peace.

I remember Lewis for his beautiful smile and his kindness toward others. I went to Muri just one year, but my husband graduated from Muir. My husband, Ralph Olivas, especially liked interacting with Lewis during the class reunions at Brookside Park...which Lewis arranged. They both loved going to the Turkey Tussle and hearing the Muir Drummers. May Lewis and Ralph RIP. May Lewis' family find comfort in their memories of Lewis.

I remember Mr. Peters from my 8th grade English class. We would have Oral reports every Friday. And a man who loved an excellent Sam Cooke song just before the start of his course. He was a teacher that helped me develop my presentation skill because of the 3-minute class presentations and our spelling tests. It is sad to hear he has left us, but I am sure he doesn't have to suffer anymore—my deepest condolences.

Mr. Peters wasnt the kind of guy one could easily forget. He was one of my jr hi teachers that knew his stuff in English, poetry & Lit. I loved being around him. He was so upbeat, personable & a sharp dresser. Although we hadnt connected in sometime, I feel a loss. I hope the family will take comfort in knowing that Mr.Petersmade a lasting, positive impression on so many.

I check the Star News everyday here at work, but since we've been on a different work schedule, I missed seeing that Lewis had passed away... until just recently when the Star News had a special insert remembering recent passings. I am not a life-long friend of Lewis'; I didn't even graduate from John Muir, but in the short amount that I did attend John Muir, he made a lasting impression. I remember going to his home, which was above Washington Blvd.; mine was on Wilson, just below Washington Blvd. He was smart, funny, personable and kind. My husband, Ralph Olivas, and I saw Lewis at Brookside Park, when he would host the John Muir alumni get-together that would take place on Turkey Tussle Day against Pasadena High School. What a wonderful smile Lewis had. e was definitely one the "Good Guys." May perpetual light shine upon him, and may he rest in peace.

To my friend - a friendship of over 60 years - what do I remember - your smile, your words of wisdom and your Lewis Peter's lust for life! THANK YOU for always being a friend- how lucky was I to be part of that inner circle.
This is what Lewis taught me " Doors open -life is amazing- stay in focus and allow life to unfold as it should..."
My thoughts and prayers to the Peters family..

I will never forget my first meeting Lew when he asked me to drive Angela's car home because she was riding with him; our trip to Vegas and numerous other times when we were together.
We loved Lewis and our love for his family continues.

I truly loved that man, and looked forward to visiting with him every week when I came by to service the pool. Endless one liners, his love for his family and Jazz were always the topics. Im grateful for his friendship and I will never forget this wonderful man. My deepest condolences to Angela and the entire Peters family. ❤

Lewif was quite the gentleman. He could not be more friendly or helpful to friends greeting them with his wonderful smile, opening the car doors taking your arm to walk you into the house. If Angela and I were going to play bridge he'd say 'bridge bridge, bridge" with a twinkle in his eyesl he was -proud of his Angel's skills, wishing us luck.
A fun loving and kind man, he will be greatly missed.
