Dear Judy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out about Pete's passing. I knew him during the disco years in San Diego, and then we lost touch. He was a fun, kind and generous man, so full of love!
Sincerely, Teri

Judy Meston & Family,

I only knew Pete for a short time, but in that time I realized just what kind of man he was and how truly great a guy he was. We had many long talks at the Vet Center in Lake Worth and the greatest compliment he ever paid me was, "you know DOC, you would have made a Hell of a SEAL Corpsman". Thank you Pete for granting me the pleasure of knowing you and I will always remember you. A TRULY Great Guy!

My thoughts and Prayers are with you and Yours. God Bless You and Keep You!

I Love You Stanley!

Judy Meston and Pete's children:

Pete was a first rate man who tried very hard to do things right. He was a wonderful, kindly friend to me.

Since meeting at Claremont Men's College in 1956, we had many years of great times together.

I am very proud to have known Pete Meston. He was a fine American and distinguished Navy officer.

I already miss Pete and am so greatful for his friendship.

My regards and condolences to all of you.

God Bless Pete Meston - fair winds and following seas.
