I met dear ol Pete a few years ago at a local gas station. We would always chat at lenth every time we met. I would stop by his house if the garage door was open and go in for a visit and sometimes a beer or two. He was one of the most intersting and nicest men I ever met. I will miss your humor and friendship Pete. My condolences to his lovely wife and family. His English friend Martin

Grandpa, I first remember meeting you in 8mm film that my mom "Skinny Lynny" came across when I was quite young. My mind's eye can still see the images projected on the wall of your travels with "little" Pete, Kathy & Lynn. I will always remember the karaoke performance of "Mack the Knife" you sang at the Bilmar on the beach. I will NEVER think of or hear about Willie Nelson without thinking of you and giving up a grin, just a little jealous of some of your exploits. I love you and look forward to our long talks in heaven and an eternity of catching up. Your Grandson, 
Larry

We are going to miss you Pete. Especially all the jokes you told and your GREAT sense of humor. Tom and I hope you are at peace now and no longer suffering. You are in our prayers daily. We loved you Pete. Tom & Sheila

Division 17 and Pete, two names that I will never forget. Great to have known and worked with him.

To the family and friends of my best friend Lynn Campbell Strong: I remember, as teenagers, Lynnie and I would always refer to our fathers by their given name and middle initial. Hence, Lynnie's Dad was always "Clarence D." and my Dad was always "Harry A." Funny what teenagers do! Well, "Clarence D." I am so glad that you had the chance to spend many beautiful years getting to know Lynn and Kathy and Pete, warts and all. I know for sure that Lynnie appreciated knowing you not only as a Dad, but as a person. How fortunate for you both! Juli Pierre

Grandpa - you taught me that as a 12 year old it was o.k. even encouraged to say bad words BUT only if you?re dancing at the Tumbleweed Restaurant in Texas! You taught me that if you want to know the answers to your questions, you research until you find them and if they aren't the answers you were looking for - you change your questions. I also learned that no one can sing the song "Laura" like you could - not even Mr. Sinatra himself. I will always remember your strength, laughter, commitment and love of life and I will continue to smile each time I think of you. Love always, 
Laura

My "Daddy", Oh how I love you. The angles finally came and carried you to your "Heavenly Home". Where there will be no more pain or sorrow. You are resting in "Peace" now, forever and ever. My wonderful Daddy, I will always; "REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES", To "KEEP THE FAITH", and to "THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS", as you have taught me since childhood. 
SKINNY LYNNY WITH THE MEATBALL EYES, that was your special name for me. 
See you alter, Alligator.....

Pete was one of the most interesting, smart, kind, and fun people I have ever met. He is truly one of a kind and I will really miss him. I know he is enjoying his Luckenbach. We send our deepest compassion and regards to Shelley and his family.

I'm proud to be your son, you raised me well. You taught me to fish camp and hike in the White Mountains, now i take my daughter to all those special places you took me. I learned honesty and integrity from you. You were so full of life and passed that gift on to every one around you. "In the end it's not the years in your life that count,it's the life in your years" You will always be in my heart. Farewell DAD I love you God Bless

Pete was a tremendous guy full of humor and good will.may he rest in peace. bill philbin

Everytime my grandfather would come down to visit us in Florida, he would always buy us "scratchy's".

My grandfather has many things to be proud of. I think the most pride shows through the smiles of his family. A family should never express anything less than the most deepest ardent feelings for one another. He will be rememberd by everyone, and i have no doubt about it. I myself wish I could've talked with him alittle more. Until the moment comes when we are reunited, all i have to say is that i loved him, and still do.

My fingers are on the keyboard, and I don't know where to begin...He was my father-in-law and so much more. I liked him right from the start. A man born with the name "Clarence", but choosing to call himself "Pete" because he liked the name Pete, must be a pretty good guy. You have to resepct that spirit. Over the years we grew quite close. He was more than just my husband's father. He had great "people skills". I was always in awe when he made quick friends with total strangers. He was a VERY personable man, young in spirit if not in years, quick with witt but not silly, honest to a fault. We loved him dearly and will miss him very much. I choose to remember him with Shelley on his arm and Willy playing on the stereo. Love, from Liz and Pete son

It is difficult for me to accept Pete's passing. He has been a friend and mentor to me since we worked at Southwest Research Institute - 35 years of great times. A true friend, Pete would do anything to put another smile on my face or give me something else to look forward to. I'll never forget the stories and advice. I'm sure he would want to see us remembering all the great and wonderful times we had and not be sad - hard for me to do right now. Thanks Pete for everything you have done for me and all the others. The world was a better place with your presence. Good ride, my friend, good ride.

Clarence passed from us on the same day as my son Michael did 6 years earlier. So I know he's in good company.

Pete was never one to shy away sharing a ditty or two with you. Generous with his kitchen table knowledge on every subject and robust and lusty in tall tales he loved to share, I will miss him dearly. Pete inspired me to follow my heart when I moved away from Texas as he was the first one to call me before I left saying " Son, you gotta sing your song". 
 When I came home for visits, he was a tremendous help in helping me document my Grandfather's life. He was feisty, mischievous, and opinionated but mostly Pete was big in heart and big in spirit. 
I miss you, Pete.

Pete was a great attribute to our family and society. He will be greatly missed, and loved in memory. He will always be in my prayers. Pete, I love you, and appreciate everything you ever did for me. You are in a better place. The girls, and I will always think of you. Love Debra Warwick Parsley. XOXO. I will be there for mom, whenever she needs me. Love Debra

My "kid" brother whose family values 
outshone his fabulous contributions 
to the national space and nuclear 
programs.He was always the husband, 
brother,father,grandfather, great- 
grandfather and in-law you could be 
proud of. With his life partner and 
loving wife,Shelley, a great team was 
bonded together. What greater tribute 
can be made?
