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.
50 years ago I was 13 and Pete was my first love. I was devastated at his death but promised him that when I had a dog I would name him Pete. At the age of 21 I had my dog – a black lab and yes his name was Pete ( or Peter if he was naughty!) Pete I remember your birthday and the day of your death each year, 50 years on you are still missed but much loved.
I have DVD’s of Smith and Jones and still watch them and have a laugh.
When Pete ( dog) died I promised him I would get a rescue dog – she is a lab/staff called Izzy.
Love on your birthday, Pete. Love always. xx
Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Pete, happy birthday to you!!!!! we will never forget you….
24 February – a special date I always remember, Happy Birthday Pete, missed and loved as always x
