<p>My heart is heavy learning of Pete's passing. Last I spoke with him he was taking chemo and reassured me he would be fine. What a beautiful spirit gone too soon.</p>
<p>He always called me Lady Grinning Soul. Loved how he spoke in lyrics. We bonded over our love of music and his love for Bowie. I spoke with him shortly after Bowie passed and he said..." I have never been so affected by the death of someone I only knew through their music." He saw Ziggy as a young man and told me at that…</p>

I have never been so affected by the death of someone I only knew through their music." He saw Ziggy as a young man and told me at that moment he finally felt comfortable in his own skin. Those that knew Pete can understand that.</p>
<p>One day out of the blue he sent me a yellow Jet. I am so grateful to have it. It feels like I have a small part of him and will always treasure it.</p>
<p>"Love on ya's" my sweet Rocketman! ♥</p> I missed this. :(

<p>I missed this. :(</p>
<p>Pete was one of my favorite people here, without a doubt. I loved how he spoke in song lyrics. I do that also, and I thought I was the only one. Even though my mathmos lamps weren't bought from him, he was there cheering me on, each time. He even had pet names for the lamps I bought. They will ALWAYS remind me of him.</p>

<p>I wanted to meet him one day.</p>

<p>Sad to hear about this. I wasn't sure who he was at first because I didn't know him by name. But he was the one with the David Bowie picture that i would always see post the past few years. I don't know the real names of a lot of people here. I found his picture in the "show us your face" topic of the off topic section.</p>

<p>We had some great times with our virtual friend, Lady Stardust. I loved how he called me, "Glitterboy." He genuinely liked and respected the USA - calling us the "land of the brave." </p>
<p>He was a friend to all here, and he LOVED lava and glitter lamps. I'd like to think they gave him some solace as he braved his battle with cancer.</p>
<p>Here's to you, Pete -- our most fine British friend.</p>

I've only just read this sad news. I had a horrible feeling it was one of my very good OG friends here. What a lovely character and personality he was on the forum. We exchanged opinions and thoughts down the years. Proud to say I was one of the first to welcome Pete to this great site. Rest in peace Starman.x
