I was very close to Pete for many, many years, and am very sorry to hear of his passing. He was the God Father to my Daughter Tammie. Joan, now is the time to rely on your religion,God Bless You.

Pete stands high on a universal great guy list! Besides, he was a wonderful person and loyal friend! I met him as a classmate in 7th grade and enjoyed his humor and wisdom for about 65 years. We shared classes, reunions, events and so much more as members of the same 1955 Lawrence High School Class. His father was my graduate school advisor at KU. So I have much respect for the Anderson family that extends to those who follow in his footsteps. May Joan and all of the Anderson family find peace in his profound love for you and so many others.
