Pete was one of 2 or 3 first friends I met; age 12 my first days here...at  Hemingway Elementary, Ketchum, Id.... K through 8th grade then... we moved here from Utah, Jan 3rd...6th grade.. 35 below... Pete and his brother Tom immediately offered friendship and laughter.  Parents embraced me and I learned to love motorcycles and log cabins and surfing (which I never did).  Pete introduced me and shared his life... I can't tell you some of the fun we had... more time must pass... haha...he was always nothing but a happy, gentle,friend... best time in my life.  He always seemed to smile and laugh as he played jokes on everyone.

Pete was someone I'd never expect to leave here.... Sincere condolences to the Watson's and family..
