REMEMBERING PETE DUEL
Thank you to everyone who leaves such poignant and heartfelt expressions in The Memorial Book—and for all your kind words about this site. Your kinship is extremely appreciated. —Laura
Please post your thoughts below. The previous Memorial Book was receiving too much spam, so I had to close it and start this page instead. The previous memorial page also had hundreds of remembrances. I hope to someday transfer them here.
There may be a delay between when you leave your thoughts below and when your post appears, but rest assured, the post will eventually be published. Please keep in mind that many questions still remain about Peter’s state of mind in those final days of his life. One recent question is how much of a role the anti-seizure drug, Dilantin, played on his thoughts. Perhaps Pete was a victim of a pharmaceutical drug and not so much of self-inflicted depression. Also note that Geoffrey Deuel sometimes visited this page. Thank you.
Hallo everyone,
It’s so amazing that we still remember Pete after all this time. Warm greetings to everyone who shares these thoughts.

I watched AS&J when it was originally shown on tv here in the UK. I recently bought the box set and am reliving the memories of the great man. He and Ben Murphy. There will never be another Hannibal Hayes than Pete. It’s such a shame that his life was cut short. He is a legend in my eyes. God rest his soul.
My husband and I started watching AS&J a few years ago. Our DVR is set to record every appearance, so we’ve watched the same shows many times and still enjoy them. A friend was visiting one evening and as we were watching one of the shows, he told us about Peter’s death. We were so saddened at learning that he had committed suicide. I’m also saddened to know that he hated starring in the series because we see it as good, wholesome western entertainment. He was born on February 24th and I was born on February 28th, 1040. Ben Murphy just turned 82 recently. He lives on in the shows he did so wonderfully.
