Margita, Harold, Terry & my dear friend Tammy,
The lovely memories that I have of Peter, Tammy's older brother are still etched in my memory. From the late 60's to the late 70's, a young Peter will live on. Sending loving thoughts, praying for the strength that you need through this transition.
I feel blessed to have known him at such a young age.

Dear Sandi,

Jim, Randy & I want you to know how very sorry we are for your loss. Pete sounds like such a very nice man, and to hear that you lost The Love Of Your Life, was such a heartbreaker for me. That type of love is the dream of every woman.

Please know that your loss of your loved one has been felt by us and you are in our hearts and our prayers. We think of you continually---24/7.

Take care of yourself, Sandi..........that is so very important. I know that Pete would agree.

Our Special Love and Support,

Diana, Jim & Randy Setterberg

Sandy, Margitta, Harold, Terry & Tammy, our hearts go out to all of you. You have our most sincere condolences. We were greatly surprised to learn of Peter's passing, it came as a complete shock to all of us.

It's some consolation knowing he's no longer in pain or discomfort, he is no longer suffering. Now he's in a better place. May he rest in peace.

Pete will be included in our prayers, along with blessings for all his family and friends.

Sincerely,

Ginger, Michael & Kimberly Shutters

I met Peter years ago in La Mesa. He was an excellent dancer and such a gentleman. I am so sorry to read this. My condolences go to the family and to Sandy. You are in my prayers. May your memories give you strength.

I recall the day that a young (27 year old) Peter came to work with us at Quintron. We formed and maintained a great working & friendly relationship for the next 25 years.
Quote from Jim McGlothlin, Quintron CEO
"We are grateful for his contribution to the Company and his service. We will always remember him with his energetic approach , warm smile and love for life. He will surely be missed."
RIP my friend

March 15, 2011

I have past Peter's office almost every day for the past 30 years to get to my own desk. We talked constantly about customers, installs, politics or just life in general. So many times in the last week and a half I have gotten up from my desk to go talk to Peter only to be hit hard by the reality of Peter's passing. Pete I will always miss you. It will never be the same without you around.

To all of Peter's family and to Sandy I am truly sorry for your loss. I have contacted many of the clients Peter has dealt with over the years and every single one had nothing but high praise for Peter and his ultimate professionalism. Much Love ... Joe Krier

I'll miss Peter's "Hey Ricky" greeting, our banter about politics and relationships, and his disappearing hairline. I'll miss his take charge attitude when things got rough, as they often do with new phone systems and jittery clients. But mostly I'll miss Peter's infectious smile and positive mental attitude. Hugs and love old friend--see you on the other side someday.
Peace Be Upon You!

I babysat "Petey" Goetz when he was only 9 years old, along with his brother Terry and sister Tammy. I recall that he was always well behaved. Although his family moved away from our neighborhood shortly thereafter, our family would remember them from time to time and wonder how they were all doing. My sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones.

Peter and I are in the same industry, he was always focused on the customers solution and making sure the solution was solid and that it would stand the test of time. We worked on many customers together and he was fun to work with because he genuinely cared and had a positive attitude while giving great service. Peter will truly be missed in the business community, Peter was a fine man to work with. A pro's pro - RIP
