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.
Always remembered with love. Thoughts with Geoffrey, Jacqueline and Pamela. Always my shining star Peter.
Thoughts, prayers and love to Geoffrey, Pamela and their families on this saddest of days another year on. I wish you, Geoffrey the best of health for the coming New Year x
Dear Pete. As I take this moment to remember you, it’s always mixed with a joy and a sadness or two. Your gifts were many,yet,the smiles so few..,your life was troubled, you felt the world cruel. No one will ever know what made you do what you had done, You must have felt lost and alone, despair and withdrawn. yet, the lives that you have touched continue to go on, with a love so true, that’s were you belong. For in the end you were a special man, who now is sitting on the right of god’s hand. As I say a prayer for you this day..,others continue to miss you in their own way. May god bless you Pete.. Peace and Ecology Now. Signed, A friend…Jack.
It’s that time of year again. My thoughts and prayers are with Geoff, Pam and their families, and all of us who are left behind. God bless you, Pete. Thanks for sharing your gifts, for making us laugh and teaching us so much.
I knew Bob an Lillian from church in Canoga Park, CA. We became very close, so close that they used to say my sons were their grandsons, my sons called them Grandpa Bob and Grandma Lillian. When they each got the chicken pox Bob was right there, twice a day, to check on them. When my oldest son Jeff cut his foot requiring stitches Bob came over and checked to make sure it was done right. My dad was also a doctor and my mother was a nurse and Pam and I used to talk about the perils of being a doctor’s kid…you weren’t ever sick or you’d get a shot. One time they brought Geoff out to our house in Simi Valley and he scared the living daylights out of me. He has an amazing sense of humor. I miss Bob and Lillian terribly and loved them dearly, as I do Geoff and Pam.
