Pete was one of the first guys I met (with TJ) in Highland, moving into the High School years. (I worked at Highland Theatre and Highland Red Owl.) He was always kind and funny. I had the privilege of meeting his lovely wife Jan, a real sweetheart. I saw Pete at the All School Class of 1969 Reunion, only briefly, but I am grateful I got to see him. Pete for me, represented the spirit of the Class of 1969. I will always remember him so fondly. My sincere condolences to Jan and the Runyon family.

Pete Runyon, one of the greatest guys on Earth. Forever grateful for the many years of laughs and great memories. He truly enriched our lives and that of our children. His legacy of generosity, humor, and love for family will no doubt live on for generations.
True story.
We love you, Pete!

My heart goes out to your family at this difficult time. I was just thinking about Pete last week when I heard "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" on the radio as he used to always sing that song at Christmas when he walked down the hall in our old North States Blaine office. Paul and I were up at Spectacle Lake recently and didn't see anyone stirring about so asked the neighbor lady how you all were doing and she said you were at a Christening. All I can say is he was too young! Hugs and prayers to you all!

We share many good memories with you Jan and Pete at Lake Spectacle. Pete was a great friend, golf partner, and always had a joke or two or three. He always had a smile. We for sure will miss our wrong way Runyon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Roger and Cheri Dufault

St.Paul and the USA is a much lonelier place without the sense of humor and laughter from Pete.
