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.
I stumbled across this site as I realized another favorite western actor Robert Conrad has been called home. Born in 62 in central NC we barely had three local channels. Wild Wild West and Alias Smith and Jones where two of my favorite shows. As a kid of around 10 I was devastated when I read of Mr. Duels passing and I think it was my first realization of the reality/finality of suicide. Prayers to Family, Friends and Fans.
In my early 70’s and am watching Pete Duel in SMith and JOnes LOVE THIS, was raising kids in the 70’s and never saw these shows. Pete could have gone on a had a great career the way Ben Murphy did. So sorry to have you gone Pete. Loved those dimples.
