Pete's posts were wonderful. If a spirit of hope or enthusiasm or encouragement or sometimes ' just look at the bright side and enjoys hints more' was ever expressed more individually or personally, I don't know where it could be. It would have been fun to meet him, but settling for the shared forum, and of course, wonderful Serottas and an appreciation of a nice red... Not a bad substitute. It has been great to read the tributes. Blessings, Pete!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Pete a few times, in fact, I believe I met him before I had even stumbled upon the forum. Truly a class act, and his presence will be noticeably missed.
From what I know, the cancer that he'd been fighting, that had been in remission, returned and from all accounts, it was quick. Honored to have shared a glass of red with you, Pete.

From reading all the genuine responses to this thread I can only say that I wished I could have had the honor in meeting him. One thing I can take away from the personal recollections is to better follow the lines he (and others) have carved before me. Rest in peace Mr McKeon and salut!

Really, what else can be said? The comments here really say it all. What an impact Pete made! What a life well lived!
I am truly privileged to have know Pete well, here and in person. My life is richer as a result.

I never met Pete, but being acquainted with his online persona (including a few PM exchanges between us), I know that he was a true gentleman. He seems to have had a full, rich life, and it's sad that it was cut short when he still had such a capacity for enjoying it. RIP.

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Serotta Pete at NAHBS Indy, both at the show and at our Serotta forum dinner. He was so warm and engaging, he nearly had me talked into splurging on the upcoming Hampsten Spring Training ride. He knew I had volunteered for the show and at the end of the last day he asked if I had a copy of the program and the "original six" postcards. When I said I had missed a lot of that swag he promptly handed over his bag stuffed with all his goodies! Today I dedicate my ride to Pete and tonight I toast him with RED!

He was the first face of the forum when I started coming here.
I sent him a team kit and a card during his Cancer treatment period, and the day he received it, he called me and was as excited as one could be. Good dude. The world needs more...not less of them. Thoughts and prayers to his family and close friends.

sad to hear this. I never had the opportunity to meet him, but always liked and respected him.
