Barside Pete has passed over - sad news on 01:31 - Nov 23 with 1089 views | TheHappyGooner | I don’t think so His last email to me was this Hi J.R. :) Not in prison. But remain on probation till late August (as I was sentenced to 360 but released after a week) .. I’d like to move back to pastoral Iowa this autumn. Have only caught sporadic 10-20 minutes of WC games when in past I’d be submerged, all in. If you might take me in, in London for a week Feb or March, I’ll pay for two tix to Spurs. I would love to see London from a native’s perspective… … ****** used to do that, but she got a bit “weird” after knowing her from 1997-2007.. That would be an explanation over pints with you and me and Des :):) I think I drifted away from helping you edit your books when it seemed I wouldn’t get proper credit. I do have 4 Best American Awards for my writers/and as editor of UrbanUS/RaiZirr.. I want micro-type credit on the cover: “contributing editor Peter Drizhal. A chapbook or brochure would be fine. God does what God has time for :D Updated phone number 240-907-1400 .. Although that looks like a number to a US corporation, I paid T-Com (T-mobile here) $1000 to get that rarified-air number. Jesus Loves You and I know in my heart that Jesus Love Me. Sorry it took such a long spell to get back atcha. Best regards, Your Peter :) [Post edited 23 Nov 2019 1:34]

Barside Pete has passed over - sad news on 12:17 - Nov 23 with 1025 views | gerry_us | Certainly the spelling of his surname is correct as I got told off for spelling it wrong. I met with him a couple of times when he lived in Des Moines Iowa and I lived in Minneapolis Minnisota. Was certainly well opinionated but always got on reasonably with him face to face; unfortunately not so well after I returned to UK when email comms. became "strained".RIP Pete if it is you. If not I am sure we will hear😇 | | | |
Barside Pete has passed over - sad news on 19:46 - Nov 23 with 984 views | mfb_cufc | The last time Pete posted on here was in the Happy League on 3rd January this year. He apparently passed away on 22nd January. I had a letter from him in 2016, and he was living in Annandale, Vaginia at the time. His twitter account confirms he was still living there on 24th December 2018, the last time he entered anything on there. So like mrhappy I am 99% certain this is Pete. The one time I met him I also found him generous, and nowhere as controversial as he could be on here. RIP | |

Barside Pete has passed over - sad news on 20:06 - Nov 23 with 978 views | TheOldOakTree | Very sad if it is true. I always felt very humble, that with the whole internet to choose from, you chose us to be your friends. You shared your life with us with such love and enthusiasm and although I often had no idea what you were talking about, I was always grateful that you took the time to share your thoughts and to give us an insight in to your world that was so different in many ways. When it got a little tough for you and you lost your way, you overstepped the line, and you got the reaction you deserved, but thank god you were different. The world would be a very boring place without people like you. Your life may have been too short, but it was not wasted, to many of us your unconditional love brought much happiness and although you will be missed, you will not be forgotten. I hope that you are now, and for eternity, in the arms of your beloved Martha. RIP Pete. [Post edited 23 Nov 2019 20:10]

Barside Pete has passed over - sad news on 22:18 - Nov 23 with 934 views | thrillseeker | This is sad news. I know Pete became agitated with life following the illness and subsequent death of his partner but on the 2 occasions I met him in the Bricklayers I found him to be very generous and thoughtful person. On the 2nd visit we got so drunk on the Friday night he missed the game at Scunthorpe the next day. I liked Pete and am saddened to hear this news | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Oh, and how well I remember that Saturday, waiting for him at to appear Doncaster railway station to take him to the game and then overnight at Gerry Towers. So it was you that got him p...... Actually it didn't take much as I remember from some of his stories. Never did get the reason for his non-appearance. | | | |
Barside Pete has passed over - sad news on 00:35 - Nov 24 with 907 views | Daniel | I have checked when he last logged onto the site and this was 12th January, just days before it appears that he died. So sad, I was only wondering what had happened to him earlier this week. He was a good guy that took a big knock and failed to recover from it. I didn’t realise that I had seen so much of him, as well as the legendary nights out at the Bricklayers, I took him to a game at White Hart Lane, which he loved, despite the result and the chaos that is our public transport. | | | |

Barside Pete has passed over - sad news on 10:02 - Nov 24 by mfb_cufc | I think Pete said his connection with Colchester came about after we beat Ipswich 1-0 in our first season in the Championship. The game was broadcast in the USA, and after seeing it he became an instant fan of the team. |
The loss of any Colchester United supporter is a sad thing. We are a small and passionate and positive band. | |
