Pete and I were Cherubs together at Northwestern in the summer of 1955, then both pledged Delta Tau Delta in the fall of 1956. We lost track of each other when he left Northwestern, but I remember many great times. I can confirm that he was a joker.

I am sorry to learn of Pete's passing.  I had the pleasure of working with Pete at Hewlett-Packard in the early-mid 80's.  I shall always remember his gentle demanor coupled with his ability to stand tough on principle when it really mattered.  It is difficult to find people with those values-based qualities these days.  He is missed.

Condolences to Chuck, Gwen & family:
I was one of the lucky ones to work with Peter at Hewlett Packard.  Also, Sylvia & I were Sorority Sisters (Beta Sigma Phi) in Loveland. I shared so many happy times with your parents.
Prayers,
   Carol Johannigmeier

My sincere sympathy for Pete's family and friends. I worked with Pete at HP for many years and remember him fondly. His sparkle and smile was a blessing during any time or circumstance. I will miss him.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Pete's passing.  We have such wonderful memories of traveling with Pete and Sylvia.  Our deepest sympathy to the family. We are sorry we did not attend the funeral, as we were traveling.  May his Memory be eternal. 
Georgia and Chris Christopher

My sincere condolences to the Appel family. I worked with Peter at HP, including some late nights in the lab.  Peter was a dedicated employee and a great person whom I am honored to have known.

Please accept our deepest sympathy for
your loss.  Pete was a customer for many years and was well liked by everyone at Chambers.  Our thoughts are with his family.

Dear Gwen, Chuck and family:
I am so sorry that I'm out of town and couldn't be there for your dad's services.  You know how much he and your mom meant to me.  They were such good and special friends.  Carpooling with your dad for so long was definitely an experience!  I learned a great deal from him and could always count on his engineer's analysis when I needed an opinion on something (no matter how small).  I know how happy he must be to be with your mom again.
My love and prayers are with you.

To Charles and Gwen:
Your parents, Peter and Sylvia, were my dearest friends.  I shall treasure my memories of them for as long as I live.  God be with you in your sorrow and rest assured that we will all meet again some day.

Pete was a wonderful man and loving brother to me.  We said goodbye long ago.  I love you today, tomorrow and will love you always. Take care my dear.
Betty and Tom Bailey

Gwen & Chuck--and all the family--
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you.  We always thought so highly of both your parents.  They are dearly missed.  Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Gwen I remember meeting your sweet father at DIA not too long ago! Prayers for you and all of your family. Kathleen in Boulder

Betty, his sister and I have been life long friends. Dated Pete only once in High School. Guess he didn't like me beating him at bowling. My loss. Great guy!

I enjoyed all of my interactions with Pete when we both worked at HP.  I remember the last time that I saw him which was at the good-by party for the HP library folks (post his diagnosis of Alzheimer??Ts).  He was facing the path ahead with great spirit and courage.

Although I haven't lived in Champaign for many years, I maintain an Alumni website for CHS and a mailing list for the Class of 1956.  We are all sharing our memories of school and of Pete.  As we plan our 55th Reunion next summer I'm sure all of us will be sharing stories about our friend.  My thoughts & prayers are with the family.

My condolences to the family.
Pete was a good friend and a valued co-worker. His long struggle is now over.
