Do not stand at my grave and weep, "I am not there, I do not sleep." I am thousand winds that blow; "I am the diamond glints on the snow, "I am the sunlight on ripened grains; "I am the gentle autumn's rain. "When you awake in the morning's hush, "I am the swift uplifting rush "Of the quiet birds in circled flight. "I am the soft star that shines at night." Do not stand at my grave and cry. "I am not there; I did not die AuthorUnknown-kristi

Big Pete was my one and only inspiration to have weight loss surgery other than my wife Barbara. I became close to Pete, and he and I talked on the phone several times. I was devastated when I heard of his death, and did know it was nothing to do with the surgery. I knew he had a very bad heart, but even though it was bad, it was as big as the entire world. Pets was ready to help anyone. I will miss him dearly. I only wish I knew this was here to post on him sooner, but at least I feel good knowing I can now say how much I miss him.

it's been about 2 years since Pete passed away. I never met him but he touched my life profoundly. I visited his website several times before his death, his warmth and caring were obvious to anyone who ever visited there. He still brings me inspiration, and I just wanted to let everyone know that.

I had weight loss surgery almost three years ago. I had e-mailed Pete when I read his story. He was very nice and supportive when he e-mailed me back. I have not look at the Memorial Page for quite some time and I was shocked to read about his passing. I don't know if his family and friends get these posts anymore but I wanted them to know he helped me take a big step towards a happy and healthier life. I am grateful and blessed to have received support. May your memories of Pete bring comfort and joy. May he dwell in the house of the lord forever and ever.

Pete, I know that you are gone. I hope that were you are now that you know just how much you mean to me. You are the reason I decided this surgery can save my life. One day we will walk with each other in God's garden. I know that you are happy now and were these last months that you lived. You got so much out of life in the very end. All the year your were confined to a wheelchair, unable to do things for your self. I feel you. I know how you felt. I think about you all the time and it hurts my heart that someone so wonderful and inspiring is gone. I will never forget you and you will alway be my role model in life and in this surgery. I went to your other site tonight and it's now down. I have been fearing that. I'm glad to know that this one is still here. I have the magazine you did and I will always treasure that. You are so missed.

Peter was my inspiration as I began my own journey towards WLS, and his spirit continues to breathe hope into my soul. Rest in peace, AMOS brother, you will be long remembered, and forever honored.

I saw Peter on the Opera show and he looked so good. I wish his family all the best. He seemed like a really nice guy. I was on his website and read his story and i can't believe he is not with us anymore. My thoughts are with his family and friends. Take Care All Denise
