Pete & I hung out a lot during our year in Rome. I'll always remember him as someone who really embraced life & always added some humor to whatever he said or wrote. More recently we were in touch about some job interviews I was preparing for. His advice: "Be Yourself!"

That pretty much sums up Pete. Many times I think we obsess about fitting in or making the right impression. All Pete had to do was be Pete, a very unique character who will be sorely missed!

Peter was one of the kindest, most joyful souls I have been privileged to have met (in this life). I still carry a note from him in my bible from when I was an RCIA candidate in 2008 where he writes: "My prayers are with you this weekend. Enjoy the wonder that is God....Draw near to God, and will draw near to you. --James 4:8" So many of us enjoyed the wonder that is/was Peter Davidson. He was genuine, kind and always lifted you up! I learned of his passing, quite inadvertently, today. My heart aches for his lovely family. Such a beautiful spirit that if you knew him, you know he is still with us all and lives in our hearts and minds. Peace be with you, Peter.

His parents would have been extremely proud of him. I'm gonna miss him. You will be in my prayers and please take very good care of yourself.Those two young mean of yours will remind you if you don't.

Linda, My condolences to you and your family. I wish there were magical words that would make this time easier for you, but hopefully the many wonderful memories you have, and knowing that you have friends who are here for you if you need them, is of some comfort to you. With deepest sympathy.

Linda, Peter and Ian
The Stehle family had a brother in Peter. Any time he was with us, his huge generous spirit was there, warmly greeting us. He will always be part of who we are, by his example to us of true faith and brotherly love. We are sad to lose him so soon but blessed to have had him as a friend.

Jim for Phyllis and Nathan Stehle and Maureen, Chris and Seth Bobish
