Gary "Pete" Peterman


Grandpa, i miss yo so much. i miss it when we came over and you would always say "Hey, you" and i miss you farmer blowing your nose. i miss it when you drowned your food in peper. i miss going on rides with you on your Harley. i miss watching you spoil Missy. i miss freezing when i spent the night at your house. i miss messing with your beard. i miss everything. i have some of your shirts, and swest pants. the shirts still kind of smell like you. i only wore once. the smell is dissapearing, grandpa. i cant get it back. i cant get you back. i want you back. i want you back so much. it still hurts. its been 8 months and it stilll hurts. why does it still hurt? why? why did you have to go? you werent ready. i wasnt ready to lose you. you didnt tell me if you believed in God yet. i tried so hard. im sorry i didnt try hard enough. im so sorry. i should have tried harder. im so sorry. i understand if you wont forgive me. i do. but i miss you so so so much. i love you. i wish i could have you back. i just want you back. i just want one more hug. just one more.

Its been years since he lived on Logan and just as many years since we spoke, I went to school with his oldest and always enjoyed drooling over the Blue Machine in the front yard. (The A team van was cool too!) Pete is most likely one of the reasons I started riding. RIP Pete Ride In Peace

I have memories of Gary stopping to visit my Dad and having coffee on the patio while they discussed Harleys and the world problems. Gary was one of those guys who never met a stranger and he was always so nice to me and my family. He lived in the Lincoln/Grant/Logan neighborhood for a long time and everyone knew who he was. I hope that he is finally at peace and that the family can draw on their good memories to see them through this difficult time. Rest easy, Gary~
