Mr. Straub, I will miss you. You were a wonderful Scoutmaster for Troop 129. You made a postive impact in my life as a role model.

Memories from Pete's Bike Virginia friends:
• One of the best. We had some good times and it was a pleasure to know him. He will be missed.
• Pete was a great guy.
• He will indeed be missed. He was a loyal supporter through thick and thin. He and Leon made a pair with their Cadillacs as support vehicles and Pete with his W&L license plate.
• I remember Pete; his exuberance & friendliness were always a welcome sight. Wonderful memories!
• We remember Pete's FUN bike clothing and Cadillac. Please express our appreciation to the family for his time and energies donated to make cycling opportunities happen in Virginia.
• I have fond memories of Pete. He helped me get through a cold, rainy and hilly day in SW VA when there was no one around and only bananas at rest stops. My body was out of fuel and Pete biked with me to keep me going. I would wait for him at the top of hills and he would wait for me at the bottom.
• You know that's why there was such a bond of friendship among us, because we all helped each other out. Pete was a fun, fine fellow.
• Pete was a joy to work with!
• Such a delightful friend. Time just seems to go too fast

Pete has finally found that perfect bike ride in the sky, where all the roads are downhills and the wind is always at your back, and the sun is always shining. We rode a lot of miles together. I will miss you, Pete, and will think of you every time I ride the W&OD trail (Pete was a trail monitor).

Good guy with great sense of humor even when going through some tough stuff. Will miss you at the next W&L reunion. I'd like to give something to charity it Peter's name. Is there a charity he would be most interested in ? My sincere condolences. Tom Budd

We knew Pete best through our many years bicycling and volunteering on the Annual 5 day Bike Virginia ride. He made many friends from around the state with his outgoing, positive attitude, and alway being around to help. We also knew Pete and his family through various Alexandria activities. Linda played tennis with his wife, our kids went to the same schools. Pete gave a lot of his time to civic activities, including Boy Scouts, Republican party activities, and board member for the Friends of theWashington and Old Dominion Trail, among many. His positive attitude, volunteer esprit de corp, and jolly laugh will be missed. Bruce & Linda Dwyer

My condolences to Pete's family. We were friends and classmates many years ago in high school in Webster. We saw each other occasionally in later years at reunions and the like. Pete was a good guy - bright, funny, involved in life. I know you will miss him.
