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.
Remembering you today on your birthday, Pete, and thinking of your family and friends. It is almost 1.30am and I can’t sleep so I’ll put on a favourite AS&J and enjoy every minute of it. God bless.
Dear Peter,
Another year has gone by and another birthday you are spending in heaven. You are loved and missed more than you know.
You have always been our special one for many reasons and you will always remain–my hero. Rest easy.
I still miss seeing you on the TV or movie screen after all these years. I was a mere 17 yrs old when you died, but remember it like it was yesterday. That New Year’s Eve, my parents were having a party & my best friend was going to be there. I was helping clean the house when she called me & told me the news. It was a shock, to say the least. Of course, being teenagers and neither of us having boyfriends, we both had a huge crush on you. I remember your love for nature, animals and our planet. I wonder what you would think about all the non-ecological things going on in today’s world. You probably wouldn’t be too happy about it! I’ve been reading the other tributes to you and have discovered that my eyes are suddenly watering. Oh, by the way, you had a killer smile! Every once in a while, I have to watch “The Posse That Wouldn’t Quit”, just so I can hear you sing “Simple Gifts.” I am rambling now, so I will end by saying I still love you. My prayers go out to Geoffrey and Pamela, I can’t imagine losing a sibling and am certain you never get over it.
Eres un rayo de luz que me sigue iluminando hoy dia. Te amo y siempre estarás en mi corazón. Gracias Pete por brillar en mi infancia y por acompañarme aún. Eres un regalo del Cielo.
i was just a kid 8 years old and loved the show but it always tripped me out that he died and just now decided to look it up if i remembered correctly, unfortunately i did,he was a great guy
