I remember seeing a photo of Pete on the front page of the S.F. Chronicle back in his house moving days. He was towing a huge Victorian house from the Children's Hospital expansion over to its new location on Divisadero Street. He made it look effortless although I'm sure it wasn't easy.
Pete was one of the good guys, always stuck it to the hippie council that failed Pacifica.
Pete was a kind man. He was a person that wanted progress and stability for Pacifica. I remembered when he talked on the appeal meeting in side of the Houmam's project and talked Dejarnet that he didn't have no business to stop them from building.
Because he knew that his former sister used own that lot.
Pete Pereira was definitely a fair and kind man. Some years ago, he helped a friend of mine who had just built his first house and was having trouble getting a bank to loan on it. Pete didn't think it was right that this young guy had to jump through so many hoops, so he gave the guy a loan until he was able to obtain a regular bank loan. Pete probably made a few bucks in interest, but he went out of his way to make sure my friend could keep his house, when he didn't have to help at all.
He was also a very astute businessman.
