CONDOLENCES, TRIBUTES & MEMORIES
"Thank you for the great memories with the series, Lawman. God Bless you and your family."
- John W.

"As a fan, I thought maybe I should share one of my own memories of Peter. Hope this is something that will interest you guys! A little backstory: I grew up on re-runs of old westerns such as
Lawman, Laredo, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, etc., and as a small child had a huge crush on Peter. (I'll be 22 in August of this year, 2017.) In late October/early November of 2014, I stumbled across Peter's account on twitter and, after weeks of debating whether I should bother him or not, decided to shoot him a tweet. I logged off shortly after posting, feeling slightly embarrassed, yet hopeful that he would read it, and a few hours later when I logged back on, I was pleasantly surprised to see I had received a reply back. We didn't share many messages/tweets back and forth, but the few we did made me smile every time I saw a new notification from @handshakefilms, and I'll treasure those memories/tweets forever. I'm thankful I stumbled across his twitter account when I did, and that I was lucky enough to "talk" to Peter before his passing last year. A particular conversation about "the fastest gun" will remain one of my favorites. RIP Peter...We all miss you terribly."
- Angelina M.

"Just recently learned of Peter's passing. Sincere sympathy to his entire family. I knew Peter back in 71-72 in LA, and he was a sweet guy. He always called me "Dallas" and was such a fun guy. He always gave the gals in my office quite the thrill when he would call from the soundstage at
Days of Our Lives or from the set of a movie he was working on. He had a nice singing voice & played the guitar quite well. Just a really special guy. He will be missed." - Betty S., HI

"THIS IS A LITTLE LATE, BUT HEARTFELT. THE MINUTE I SAW YOU ON SCREEN, MY HEART FLIPPED FOR THE FIRST TIME! I WAS ALL OF 10 YEARS OLD! HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR CAREER SINCE, BUT SOMEHOW MISSED YOUR PASSING. CONDOLENCES TO YOUR FAMILY. REALLY NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY YOUR CAREER DIDN'T SKYROCKET-AN EXCELLENT ACTOR WITH PERSONALITY THROWN IN!" - MJ, OH

Laredo and Lawman and we all loved him in both of his roles. And I might add he was a very handsome man and great actor. He will be missed." - Fairy, TX

"I can't believe I missed the news of his passing. I don't believe I saw him mentioned in any of the year end memorials. If he was overlooked, that's a shame. Such a solid actor with a decent body of work. As a youngster, I loved watching him in
Lawman, and I see him pop up in a film or TV rerun now and then. He will be forever alive in memories and on the screens both large and small. RIP Sir." - Don M., WA

"I hate that I just found out this sad news. Peter was always a favorite of mine. RIP good Sir." -

"Met Peter & his bride, KK 10/25/14 in Glendale, AZ. When my groom, Al & I approached they heard me say, 'there they are.'  Peter turned & said "where've you been, I've been waiting for you." Told him I it took me 56 years to meet him! I was composed, but Al said he thought he'd have to pick me up off the floor! Precious people! Thanks pard for being my heartthrob all these years. Happy trails in Heaven." - Roseanna D., TX

"I just read on Peter's webpage that he passed away. How very sad. It was around the same time that Peter died, I was looking through some old photos I have. I came across a photo of Peter sitting on a couch with his arm around an elderly man. I seem to remember it was either Dean Martin's father or perhaps Peter's father. There was also another man and children sitting on the couch, which I believe may be Dean Martin's son and grandchildren. My wife Juana, was the housekeeper for Dean Martins son and his wife. That is how I came to have this photo. My wife passed away 20+ years ago. Back in those days of Lawman and Laredo, my brother and I used to do a little fast draw. We did it for fun and also in some competition. We used to love to watch and try to impersonate Peter as he drew his gun. I just had to write as I am saddened to hear of Peter's passing. I hope the fan page will remain active. God bless the family. Prayers to all." - Cliff H.

"I was so saddened to hear that Peter has passed. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting him at a convention that had many TV Western stars attending. While there, I had a great time talking to Peter; he was, as others have mentioned, very nice and approachable. A cool guy with a great sense of humor. I got a black and white photo of him that he signed for me and now, more than then, I still cherish it. A couple of weeks after that convention, I did a pencil portrait of that photo and Peter was pleased to have me send it
to him. He sent me the most precious 'thank you' note, including a little picture of him from
Lawman - his role in that series was my favorite. Peter, you will be remembered and missed by fans and friends alike. I will never forget your kind words in that little note. Thank you for sharing time with your fans and thank you also for your service to our country." - Skye R., TX
