I was so sorry and shocked to hear this. I wish for the whole family peace and love to fill your hearts.
For years, “Pete” greeting the faithful at the church’s front door. He was always smiling and had a way of welcoming you that make you feel you were the most important person coming through the door. He will be sorely missed, not only at the church’s door but across this area. While I don’t have an inside track, it may be possible that the LORD will ask Pete to stand at the Pearly Gates and keep greeting His people. Our hearts reach out to Natalie and the whole family that healing will come!

Natalie, I think all of your friends were shocked, as were we. Our deepest sympathy to you and your sons. Pete was almost like a member of our class, as he hung out with Maury and Paul and others while you and I wandered the crowd of classmates. Such a nice guy married to such a lovely gal! Loved hearing the story of how you met and his undying love for you.
Natalie, Your love for each other was so obvious and an inspiration to all the other couples on the dance floor. We always loved hearing fun stories from Pete. You and your family are in our prayers. God bless!
Natalie and Family,
Pat & I will keep you in our prayers as you and your family members are attempting to cope with Pete`s sudden passing.
We will miss the possibility of running into you both, from time to time. I (Michael) have MANY fond memories dancing with you at “The Barn” or at pig roasts, or at restaurants with you and Howie and Dee. May God bless you as you heal.
Love, Mike & Pat McGraw
Natalie, I am so sorry for this sudden deep loss to you and your family. I regret that I was just beginning to know Pete, but I could see at our pizza gatherings what a loving happy couple you were. I’m sending loving thoughts your way, hoping that the presence of family and friends are some comfort to you, along with many good memories.
Natalie… I am saddened to hear your beloved Pete has passed on to be with those he loved who’ve gone before him. I’m thinking of you during this most difficult time. Virtual hugs. I’m so glad we got to spend some time together at the reunion.
Natalie, I was happy that you met such a kind, handsome fella. I could tell you love each other and enjoyed having fun , especially dancing. I’m so glad we got to catch up at the class reunion in September. I’m sure my hubby would have enjoyed talking woodworking with Pete. I was so deeply shocked and saddened; my prayers are with you and your family and friends that your memories will be comforting.
Pat and family…my condolences to all on the loss of your brother, “Pete”. May God’s blessing carry you through this difficult time.
My condolences to all the family and friends of Pete Bunt. I knew him back in the mid 70’s through my former husband who was with the Wooster Police Dept. May Pete rest in heavenly peace. I am thankful for his military service to our nation and to Wooster as a police officer. Sincerely, Patti Freeman (formerly Littleton)
