Paul, to you and the entire Kleinke family, I am so sorry to hear about Peter's passing. Although I never got to see Peter when I visited Delmar over the years, Mike W. was good enough to keep me updated on both of you. It was nice to visit with you during our past high school reunion, and I will definitely stop and say hi at the farmstand next time passing thru. I'm now living in Port St Lucie, FL, so you know the winter months are not an option! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and know that you will have many fond memories of the lives you shared. Fondly, Gayle (Penk) Gwiazda

My condolences to the Kleinke family. Pete was a great man who I always had so much respect for - salt of the earth. I have many fond memories of Pete from the farm and from working for him at the fairs over several summers in my teens. He was a close friend of my father and of our entire family for 40 years and he will be truly missed.

So sorry to hear this news. We grew up as kids together. I remember how tall that Peter always sat in the saddle on his Palomino. We had some good times. May he be serenaded by the singing Angels on his journey to Heaven. Peace be with the family. Barbara Booth-Smith
