Hello family and friends of Peter,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I too have many fond memories of Peter, growing up in Tiburon together. He was such a talented guy. I remember the Elephants (his band) playing at Redwood High. I remember time spent together at parties in Tiburon growing up. It was a sweet time and Peter was a thoughtful, funny, sweet guy. He is missed. May you find comfort in knowing so many have such fond memories of him.

Peter and I met at St Hillary's in fourth grade. He had the drumset then and won the fourth grade talent contest by banging away on them so ferociously that Sister Francesca came out of the principal's office to see what was wrong. We were at Reed School together, and then Del Mar and finally Redwood. I remember when he signed my yearbook at Del Mar he took a long time to compose a nice note -- not your typical eighth grader... He was nicer than that. I am sorry for your loss. I am sure he grew up into a very nice and thoughtful man.
With kind regards,
Dina

I cherish the fond memories I have of Peter Ware. We had such great times together. Childhood sweethearts, Del Mar Jr. High School, Pop Warner football games, Tiburon, walking hand in hand. A kiss at a party on Paradise after eigth grade graduation. Peter/s striking good looks and kind personality are what I remember most. Redwood High 10 year reunion was the last time we spent together. He called to ask, "If you go, I will"...and we did. We laughed all night at the after party in Larkspur and outside we said goodbye. I moved away and started a family.
Recently, I've been thinking of Peter because my oldest son is graduating eight grade with striking good looks. He's going to his graduation party, seems like yesterday. I'll always have a special place in my heart filled with wonderful memories of Peter. I will miss him. As my little sister said, "How could anyone forget Peter Ware?" My thoughts are with you.
