October 28, 202512:30 PM CSTWe're moving ahead with
cremation plans for Pete.
James Andrews has generously offered to head up
a memorial for Pete in
New Orleans. We're just waiting to confirm details and final costs to ensure we can cover everything with the funds we've raised so far, but here are our
tentative plans.
-- Thursday, November 6
-- 5 PM CT
-- Start at Little People's Place
-- Stop at Tuba Fat's Square
-- End at Cafe Istanbul
Traditional Jazz funeral
Black & white attire
We're still working out the details for a
final resting place for Pete and will post those updates as soon as we have them (note that if we're able to arrange a final resting place in New Orleans, that may affect the second-line route—again,
all plans are tentative, but we will keep this site updated as we go).
After funeral, burial, and initial memorial arrangements are made, we're hoping to keep the fundraising and memorial efforts going for
a permanent tribute statue for Pete. Our priority now, though, is to lay Pete to rest.
We'll try to send an email to everyone once confirmed plans are in place, but again, we'll always update this site with the latest, and if you have any questions, you can reach out to us as well.
