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 am so glad to have found this site. Over the years I have checked around for information on Pete and the program. Back in the day I was a teenager and Alias Smith and Jones was my favorite show. I tried to never miss an episode. I remember when the sad event happened very well. Strange thing was that I never forgot the day before Pete passed oh, I had a dream if something had happened to one of them and they were gone. So the next day when I heard what happened to Pete it shocked me and left an impression that has lasted almost 50 years. I often Ponder and wonder what it could have been for him if he could have somehow got the help he needed.
Thank you Billie. She did disappear from the face of the earth; it is rare not to find anyone with Google now. I will keep looking. I also saw a clip of Peter on the Dating Game. I would love to watch the full segment.
Yes definitely thank you for your comments and welcome to Pete’s memorial website we all love him and love Laura for keeping his memory alive it’s an honor thank you so much
Thank you, Claudia. And thank you for remembering Peter. I share this page with his brother—our blood tie to a man we love and miss so much. ❤️
I am simply amazed at the professionalism and personal touches that your site has. I have always followed ASJ in my life to some point…and have a private collection of ASJ videos featuring both the guys…but 2/3 are probably more Pete focused because of his tragic death. I am so glad that I found your Memorial to him, I have spent the entire morning reading every word from every interview you conducted…I was always a Kid Curry fan, when the show was aired and I was in my teens…and Ben’s interview was honest…I learned much from his perspective. I thank you for your wonderful contribution to Pete’s memory, and this site will be a regular watch for me for a long time. Pete, we all miss you…I hope that you have found the peace that you so desperately needed.
