Dear Uncle Pete,  I can't believe you're gone I am truly heartbroken.   I have lots of fond memories of you, and Uncle Saul, Uncle Ben, and Uncle Sonny Man living in the house as a little girl on the corner of Roosevelt and Ringo. I remember how you used to barbecue, and the Fourth of July picnics that we  would have in the back and the side of the house.  You were always very caring and giving and a loving person. I will treasure our monthly phone calls and the way you would always have me laughing.  Remember, you still owe me a slab of ribs! Love you always, your niece

Pete always had a smile whenever he saw him. I will remember that he was a very caring person and brother. Ben and Saul and his other family members remember his strength. Piccola Lamb-Hill '64

Mr. Jordan will be missed, he was loved by our family and we are very thankful to have shared time and space with him. Our memories will be held very precious to us. The family has been in my prayers.

Rest in peace "my dear friend".  You will truly be missed!!!  To the family: I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers. May God give you comfort & peace!!

Pete had a way with people that made you feel relaxed and happy to be around him. His wit and humor always made me smile. He will also be greatly missed by his high school classmates. My deepest sympathy to Ben and the entire Jordan family. Be blessed and know we care,too.

So sorry to learn of Pete's passing.  He was a kind, hard-working colleague.  I appreciate having known him.

A simple memory of someone who made this world a brighter and better place. Pete was a friend and advocate to many when they needed it and was always willing to share his wealth of knowledge along with his wonderful smile and a hug. I have lost a much respected friend, but he will remain in my heart and memories.

With deepest sympathy for the family, know you're in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Pete touched so many people during his life and he will always live in our hearts and prayers. Keeping the family in thoughts and prayers.

Such a Sweet Soul!  Mentor to many! Loved and Respected by the masses! He will be missed by us all! 
Keeping the family in thoughts and prayers!

Sweet Pete; he was always a delight.  Kind, intelligent, sensible, and such fun.  And he loved his family.  Heck, he loved almost everyone; always ready to defend the sometimes undefendable.

Losing someone like Pete is never easy, and my thoughts and prayers go to his family.  Our loss is Heaven's gain.

A Life Well Lived, Always in our "Hearts" R.I.P. Heartfelt Condolences to the Jordan Families.

Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Pete's endless list of family and friends. The calls, texts, and messages continue to come in since the news of his transition, with one common theme: "Pete was one of the nicest people I've ever known.  He will be missed so much."  To this I say, "Ditto."   Rest in His Arms, my friend. Rest, sweet rest.

Pete had a positive impact on almost everyone that he interacted with and will be missed by all.

                                          GRIEF
I HAD MY OWN NOTION OF GRIEF.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A SAD TIME
THAT FOLLOWED THE DEATH OF SOMEONE YOU LOVE.
AND YOU HAD TO PUSH THROUGH IT
TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE.

BUT I'M LEARNING THERE IS NO OTHER SIDE.
THERE IS NO PUSHING THROUGH.
BUT RATER THERE IS
                                  ABSORPTION.
                                             ADJUSTMENT.
                                                          ACCEPTANCE.

AND GRIEF IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU COMPLETE.
                    BUT RATHER YOU ENDURE.
         GRIEF IS NOT A TASK TO FINISH,
                               AND MOVE ON
BUT AN ELEMENT OF YOURSELF ---
AN ALTERATION OF YOUR BEING
A NEW WAY OF SEEING
A NEW DEFINITION OF SELF.

     I AM HONORED AND BLESSED TO HAVE KNOWN "PETE."  HE WAS TRULY A BLESSING IN MY LIFE.  I WILL FOREVER MISS HIM AND CHERISH EVERY MEMORY THAT WE SHARED.  HE WILL BE MISSED IMMENSELY.
 
             MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO THE JORDAN FAMILY

May the family find comfort from friends and loved ones during this time.  Pete left a lasting impression on many who knew him.  He had a wealth of knowledge that he shared with those who wanted it. He was a rock for me when I need him.  I will truly miss him. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Hearing about your loss has deeply saddened us,  we know that this is a difficult time for what you are going through right now. In this tough time in your life, may the friendship, sympathy and heartfelt condolences of our family and so many of Pete's friends bring you comfort. 
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. 
Pete was a wonderful and fun person.  My prayers are with the family.

Pete was one of the greatest people I have every met. No words can express my deepest sorrow for the family, friends and the many people Pete touch during his life. He will surely be missed, loved but never forgotten. Rest in Love my friend.
