Dearest Peggy,
We are so sorry to hear about your dad. Always remember he will still be with you no matter where you go or what you do. If you need anything at all, all you need to do is call. November 29, 2011
Dear Peggy, November 29, 2011
To the DeLozier family:
I am so sorry to hear of your lose, I had the privilege of working with Pete for years at NASA, great to work with and just a great person. Pete had a big heart, we talked a lot about the Green Bay Packers as I too am a fan of the Packers. I do remember he talked so proudly of his family, especially Jean. He will definitely be missed. May the good Lord smile upon you during this time. God Bless Rodney Russell ~ Rodney Russell, Yorktown, Virginia November 29, 2011
Peggy & family, I am so
sorry for your loss. God's hand will help you thru this.

To the DeLozier
Family from an old friend of Pete's: I played ball with Butch in
both Little League and Pony League, enjoying many wonderful
afternoons being coached by Pete. He was a great man with
remarkable ability toward bringing out the best from each of us
as players!
Although I have been in Colorado since 1977, I often return to the old neighborhood and remember fond days of playing ball behind Briarfield Elementary at the Little League Field where Pete taught us to bat, catch, and slide. But most of all Pete drove into each of us the need for good sportsmanship! God Bless you, Pete, and may you rest in peace! Our prayers for your family during this time of sadness! November 30, 2011
My sympathy to Pete's
remaining family.

Peggy and Family,
I have so many fond memories of Uncle Pete. I always loved the stories he had to tell and his sense of humor. I know he had an impact on a lot of lives and was a role model for many. He will be missed but we know he is with his beloved Jean. May the peace of Christ be with you during this time of sadness. November 30, 2011 I am sorry to hear about
Pete's passing away. I worked with him years ago and I went to school
with Butch. November 30, 2011
I was one of
the many young men that "Pete" took under his wing and
taught the love of athletics and the meaning of good
sportsmanship. His teaching have stayed with me my
entire life. I grieve with you during this time. God
Bless you, "Pete".
