William Pete Erwin, 70, Jamestown, ND passed away peacefully in the early morning on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at his home.<\/p>\n

A memorial service will be 2 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 28, at Eddy Funeral Home in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Pete was born November 5, 1947 in Baltimore, MD to Ruby Merenda and Walter Erwin where he was raised and educated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pete relocated to North Dakota approximately 15 years ago, left briefly twice, but always returned “home” to Jamestown. Although quite quiet personally, he loved socializing and was often on a first name basis with all he met. He loved visiting with employees in all the places he frequented, knew about their families and was greeted with a “hi, Pete” everywhere he went. When he developed a heart problem about 15 years ago, he was forced to retire, but didn’t give up his interest in people. His picnic table was usually full from early spring until mid-fall, where the coffee was hot and the conversation lively. He had a real talent with dogs with special needs, whether physical or emotional and many called him a “dog whisperer.”<\/p>\n

There are many people that he felt special connection with, too many to mention, but I would be remiss in not mentioning a very special 93 year-old lady who took him into her heart (as she did many others) and mad him one of her family. Thank you, June Lende. Pete’s sister requested that I add my name to the list which I’m proud to do.<\/p>\n

Pete was preceded in death by his parents and all siblings except his beloved sister, Shirley and her children, Linda Kayler, Shirley Williamson, Tina Tosena, and William Wise.<\/p>\n

Pete had a “bad heart”, but it was so big and loving, his kindness and sensitivity gained the respect of all who really knew him.<\/p>\n

There will be a memorial service for Pete the last week in August at Eddy Funeral Home. Details are still being worked out. Times will be published in the Jamestown Sun when set.<\/p>\n
