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.
This week it has now been 44 years since we lost Peter. He was a brilliant performer…still no one better than Pete.
He has always been and remains…my hero. Will forever love and admire this beautiful soul and remarkable man. We all miss you, Peter.
My best wishes go to the duel family. At what should be a happy time of year , the memories of peters death must be sharp in your minds. Be assured he lives on in the hearts of millions around the world. This website shows just how fresh he is today in people’s minds. My thoughts are with you.
I remember that night 44 years ago. A tragedy for all of his family and friends, and many fans around the world. But he still lives in the movies and tv roles he starred in. Not forgotten.
After almost 44yrs I finally, accidently, be there such a thing, learned of your passing this afternoon in my home of NZ. You were the love of my life when I was 9 in 1971 watching and adoring you on screen from afar and to this day I have never seen a smile as sweet and touching as yours Pete, other than in my son born in 1990 with same pixie nose and dimpled cheeks. To me you will go on living forever. Peace.
I did to in 71 fell in love with him a d now I am 60 And still tear up when I think of him.
44 years this month.
Sometimes it seems like yesterday..
I think he could not handle the world the way it was and the hateful people he worked with.
God Rest his soul
He is a Angel
See you in HEAVEN Pete
