Peter J. Carroll

Pete was the greatest friend to me. When I lost him on 9/11/01‚ a part of me died. I will never be the same. Our family suffered a major loss and each of us is having a difficult time with each new day. Life has become a struggle and time is the only thing on our side. Pete was the greatest husband‚ friend‚ soulmate‚ stepfather and a friend to all. His humor and caring ways are never forgotten.

There is only one word to explain Pete-Irreplaceable. We will never stop loving him.

  8. Peter and I worked together as busboys at the Concord Hotel in the summer of 1976. He taught me to ride his motorcycle, which I used to take my road test. He saved my life once when we were heading out on our bikes for a ride. I’ll never forget that or him. He was a thoughtful, funny, brave man, even as a teen.

  11. Today we walked on the 20th anniversary of 9-11. Around my neck was the name of a man I never met. A man who didn’t know me or my family. A man who gave everything to serve others.

    Today, around my neck, I wrote the name of a hero. Thank you Peter Carroll.

  13. It’s been 20 years since that tragic day and such bravery, even in the face of fear, never ceases to amaze me. Pete, your name was spoken as I rang the bell midway through the stair climb at Lambeau Field. You may be gone but are never forgotten. Thank you for your courage and your sacrifice for others. You are truly an American hero.
    To Pete’s family, my heart goes out to you. I sincerely understand that the pain of grief may lessen but it truly never goes away. Live your lives to the fullest….it’s what he would want for you.
