Rest in Peace - Pete McKeon

Sad indeed. RIP Pete - you'll be missed.

You're going to be missed Pete, never had the pleasure of meeting you in person but you made me feel like an old friend.

I think you have to be my age to fully appreciate his passing. We were such cheerleaders for each other (and other geezers). I mean, you kids are fine and all but I want my contemporaries to last forever.

Maybe we should have had a clue because his last post was on 9/8/14. It wasn't like him to be silent that long.

RIP Pete. A glass of red in your honor tonight.

If the world was full of men with the kindness of Pete the world would be so much better.
So sad.

He's a glass of red to you. RIP

So sad to see this, rest in peace.

RIP, Pete. I had the pleasure of spending a week in Colorado with Pete and Bruce K a few years ago after finding this forum while looking for information on Colorado rides. I will miss him and his continual optimism, even through the depths of his fight to beat cancer. Pete was truly one of the best and a model for all.

When I read the friends list it states" Pete Mckeon has not made any friends yet". That bought a smile to my face,if wealth could be measured by the friends one has he's richer than Bill Gates.

Never met him in person, but he was one of the nicest guys on here. He always had a positive comment to any thread I posted. Usually involved getting a new custom frame.

Sad to hear this news.

Never had the honor of meeting the man, but appreciated from afar his wisdom and tremendous attitude. He clearly knew what was important. And isn't that all any of us could ever wish for?

Peace to Pete, his family and all who knew him.

A very even keel around here. RIP Pete.
