Ann, Andrew and Katie-
We just returned from out of state for our daughter's Graduation from college and are shocked and sorrowed to hear about Pete's sudden passing.
He was a dear neighbor, friend, father and accomplished professional and he will certainly be missed by all.
You all are in our prayers,
John & Cindy O'Callaghan

I have had so few friends in this world and Pete was one of them. I am so sad to hear of his passing.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Ann
I am so sorry for your loss.  I was out of town last week and just heard the news.  You may recall my sister went out with P.D. in high school and my brother was good friend's with Jeff.  So sad to see 3 of "the boys" died so young.  My thoughts are with you.
Linda Walsh

I am saddened and shocked. Such a loss of a wonderful man. Always had time for an impromptu phone call and spent a generous amount of time explaining all that legal stuff. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you.

Ellen and Family,

I am so sorry for your sudden loss. Pam and my thoughts are with you during this tough time.

We were so surprised and saddened to learn of Paul or Pete's passing.  He was truly a friend to us as a lawyer.  Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

The Weatherhead Family:  We are so sorry for your loss.  PD was a help to us about ten years ago when we were dealing with our mother's estate. You are in our thoughts and prayers.  The children of Marion O. Kane

I only met PD once and that was this past Thanksgiving when I flew to Chicago to spend the holiday with my sister Pearl and Jim and was invited to PD and Ann's house. They were the most gracious couple and welcomed me into their home. I am so sad to hear about your loss. My deepest sympathy to the Weatherhead family.

Dear Ellen and family:  I am deeply saddened by the loss of your brother.  We are all thinking of you, Ellen!

My deepest condolences to all of the Weatherhaed Family members.

I was surprised and saddened to learn of Pete's passing. His humor, good sense and sanity were always much appreciated.

As long as I can remember PD has been a part of my extended "family. We considered him to be one of the "cousins" and as such he is in many of our family pictures.   I know that he loved many and was loved by many.  He will be sorely missed.  Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss... please know you are in my heart...

PD was truly one of the best "guys" I've ever known.  He could always be counted on to do the right thing - instinctively.  I'm sorry I didn't get to know him better - thanks for all he did for everyone around him.

PD shared his legal and life wisdoms with me time and time again, without a bill, without judgement, always with kindness and a funny line to make me laugh. I hope that the impact he made on so many lives will comfort those who knew and loved him best. He will be greatly missed by many.

Dear Weatherhead Family,
I'm shocked & saddened beyond words. Over fifty five years ago my brothers introduced me to this little kid who later was the altar boy at my wedding who became like another brother & confident in the coming years. Too bad he never got around to writing that book about my crazy family, he had more than enough material. It would have been a best seller I'm sure. Now he & Tommy are most likely reminiscing over their too short lifetime together

Pete was our pillar through good times and bad times. There are no words to describe the loss.
There are equally no words to describe his selfless dedication to his friends, here is a whole set of friends that used to be his clients only, but during bad times we became friends.
One cannot have a better friend than Pete.
Ann and Family, our deepest sympathy.

I was so sorry to hear the news of your loss.  My prayers are with you, Andrew and Katie in this difficult time.

I am still in a bit of shock over the news. I have known Pete as a friend and sometime client for well over 20 years. He was a brilliant man and a caring, person. We all will miss Pete and are better for having known him. My thoughts and prayers are with Ann and the family.

Dear Ann and family, we are so sorry and for loss.  PD was an amazing man.  All of our thoughts are with you.  Joel and Carol Babbitt

Dear Ann,
I was so shocked to learn of this loss for you and the family.  Please know that I am thinking of you during these very difficult times.  Remember all the good times, they will help to fill some of the void.

For fifty five years you where my best friend. St Francis Xavier-as boy scouts-Camp Makajawan-you never could quite get that whittling merit badge-choir boys-many many many late night "sneak outs" just walking all over Gilson Park-praying your father would not catch us, New Trier East,where we discovered girls-a vacation together to Vail-almost getting killed due to the riots after MLK was killed, U of I. where we discovered even more girls-the first time I ever saw your heart broken.I still love the commentary you gave as you showed all the slides from your trip to China. I was looking forward to the next slide show about Machu Picchu. I use to kid you about all the money you lost because you would spend an hour on the phone talking about life, kids, spouses etc.. We held each other at Tom's funeral and cried like babies. Life just became a lot less fun. I knew you were a special man all my life. Smart, funny, you KNEW everybody! But to me you were the kid I grew up with and my best friend since the first day of first grade. I hope you and Tom are having a good time. I will be there presently.

I'm so sorry, and shocked, for your loss. Paul played a patient and supportive role for myself and my family. You will be missed, Paul.

Dear Weatherhead Family,
How lucky you were to have this wonderful man in your lives.  For the short time I knew him, he made me laugh at every encounter.  He knew how to pull off the perfect prank and make Ann's heart dance.  How lucky we all are to have known Pete Weatherhead.

B'shalom (with peace),
Ellen

Dear Pete, you were the first face I saw every morning when I walked into work and the last face I saw when I left for the day.  I still can't believe you're gone.  

You will be missed by everyone in the office and be remembered as the extraordinary man that you were.  

You were the most knowledgeable attorney I knew and always had an answer to every problem.  You were funny, thoughtful and charming and the office is a somber place without you.  

I wish your family and friends all the strength in the world to get through this hard time.
