Our family very fortunate to have grown up next door to Pete and the Harjung family. He was a special person and I carry a part of him with me to this day. His kindness and warmth enriched my childhood.
May you find comfort in your memories of his life.

Joanne,
   I live in Tennessee now, but will never forget the Sunday Nights I worked with Pete at the Vale Edge Market.
   He and I always got along so well, and he was a pleasure to work with.  He and I had some great and funny times together.
      I viewed the Photo Gallery and really liked all of the pictures.
Pete - someday you and I will close the Store again together, and I am looking forward to that day.  Rest in Peace Dear Friend....

Aunt Joanne and family, know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during the loss of a husband, father and grandfather. 

Of my Uncle-
To an uncle who has left a lasting impression on many. With deep knowledge and stories of a man whose words would never end. An uncle who would greet you with open arms and a blessed smile to boot.
One journey has ended as God has granted you a journey by His side. It is He who welcomes you with open arms and a smile. It is those who have gone before to share those stories with. And it is now our task to carry on your legacy until God calls us too by His side.

Thank you for the blessing you have been.

Aunt Joanne, thank you for the impact you and Uncle Pete have been all these years. I am so blessed to have spent the time with you at my parents' anniversary.  I want to leave you with this verse from Numbers 6:24-26:

“The Lord bless you and keep you;25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,And be gracious to you;26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,And give you peace.”

May God's grace and blessing be upon you. Know that you are loved.

Chris

Joanne and family.  We are so sorry to hear of the passing of  your husband and father.  Paul & I so enjoyed seeing the two of you wherever we happened to meet.

Dear Aunt Joanne and Family, our deepest condolences.  Uncle Peter was a blessing to have in our lives.  I loved to listen to his stories and memories that he shared every time we saw him.

Dear Joanne and family:  Thanks to our high school reunions, Sonny and I had the privilege to meet and talk with Peter.  He was such a gentleman and so glad for our high school reunions that enabled us the time we spent with you and Peter.  He was such a gentleman and a pleasure to talk with.  We are happy for your 62 years of marriage and the wonderful memories you will forever have, but saddened for your loss; however, being a Christian you will have a heavenly reunion according to God's plans.  He loves you and so do we.  Sonny and Mary Lou McClintock
