Condolences

Condolence From: Bill Harvey (Fat Willie)
Condolence: I truly miss this man. He was an exceptional gentleman and patiently put up with my foolishness. When I sit in the new stadium this spring and look out into left field I will not be able not to think of him. I wish he could have lived to see this year's girls basketball team. They are champions and so was he. Bill Harvey

Condolence From: Bob Kremer
Condolence: Maria,
Mo and I are very saddened to learn of Pete’s sudden passing. Our thoughts and sympathy are with you at this time. Pete was a great influence in shaping my career and he impacted our lives to make living in Mississippi more tolerable in the 1970’s for a young couple from Missouri. The education and ‘life tips’ I received from him (most good habits, maybe some not so good) made the experience much more valuable than if we studied under any other faculty at MSU. He brought a higher level of expectations from his experience at ISU and I credit him for instilling a sense of excellence in the Department during his tenure there. He is in the top 4 or 5 individuals who shaped my direction in life not only professionally but also as a human. We cherish the times we spent with you both. We will never forget him.

Condolence: Maria,

I am sorry for your loss of your husband Pete. As it turns out, I met him many years ago when I first came to Stoneville. Again, I offer my sincere condolences for your loss.

Condolence From: Zoe Smith and Family
Condolence: Oh, how I will miss you Pete! You were a fine Professor, friend and mentor. I learned many fundamental lab best practices from your courses - including mouth pipetting, patience for titration, carbon copies of analysis notes (scientists don't keep neat and tidy notes, but transcription is a sin), and we even honed some excellent crawfish boil recipes, seasoning and timing. I'll never forget the ice chest trick you taught me at Jazz Fest in New Orleans - I used for many years. I love you and I can't wait to see you again at the Left Field Lounge in the sky. Maria and Luke - you are in my thoughts and prayers. If God is willing, I will see you in July. Love and kisses - Zoe and The Smiths

Condolence: I was very saddened to learn about Dr. Pete. He was kind to me, putting up with my foolishness and sharing his beloved spot in the lounge. I wish for his family and friends to know how much I thought of him and how I will miss his wisdom and good humor.

Condolence: Maria, my deepest sympathy for you and your family. I saw this thru Monica and just wanted to let you know I'll keep you in my prayers in the coming days and weeks. Pete sounded like a wonderful soul, anyone that loves Dawg Baseball is good in my book !! Much love, Kay (Cudi Bug)
