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.
The sadness I felt on that new year’s eve 1971 is still as strong all these years later. Will love you always dear peteXxx
Thinking about Pete,on this day as always,so sad & very much missed, xxx
Thinking of you especially tonight Pete.For many of us you were our first crush that we couldn’t get over. But look at all the love for you we hold tightly onto. Thank you always to Laura and Geoff for letting us share in all the memories.
Beautiful, beautiful man. All these decades later, I’m still enthralled by you. Wish you knew how much you were loved by so many.
Nearly Christmas 2023 .Just binge watched season1@2 for the 2/3 time in my adult life .
Yet most years at this time of year, this Scottish boy thinks about Pete.
I was only turned 7 back in 71 but it had a profound affect on my mind back then.The day I found he had died was shock and sadness that had never entered my life up until that point.
It has stayed with me until this day.
And in death,I’ve felt a love for Pete because of his smile and the chemistry he had with Ben Murphy.
It’s hard to understand why after all this time but I wish and hope he is up there appreciating how much affection we have for him.
He was talented and the fact that so many people still love him after over 50 years is something most of us will never have.
A beautiful legacy to have.
