I don't recall ever meeting Pete, but every loss is deeply felt.

Safe journey home, Pete - you will be missed.

Pete was a true Super Six man. Glad to have known him, and my thoughts are with those left.

Sorry to hear the news, Pete was a real Hudson man, enjoyed his cars and driving them. Glad I saw you in Detroit, Have a safe trip and say hello to all our Hudson friends who have made the journey. Rest in peace and may the good Lord be with you.

Sorry to hear of Pete's passing. I remember visiting with him and Kenny Holmes in San Diego area , Feb of 2000. We went over to Pete Laughin's (spelling?) to see the 1916 Hudson Six-40 he had. HUGE car, the tires were up to above my waist like 40 inches high. We had a meal together with Buzz Stahl, Pete Booz, an many other So-Cal notables. Good memories. Kenneth

We didnt know him or June before 2004. But met them on the group trip to Australia. A very enjoyable trip, will always remember the sites, the HET group that went and the friends we made, Pete and June and her brother Bob helped make the trip even more enjoyable. Thanks for the memories. Bob & Betty Parks

I last saw Pete this past summer, at a NW chapter meet near Shelton, Washington- he brought his Hudson, of course. A true Hudson guy, who passed on his love of the marque to his son Steve and daughter in law Bea. His granddaughter Hannah is a real pistol, and was big in soap box derby racing. He will be missed.

GEEZ, what a bummer. Pete was one of my oldest & best friends having a great co-operative enthusiasm for the '29 Hudsons.
He also took over as HET Treasurer when I resigned after 6 or more years in that capacity.
Really enjoyed seeing he & his family (his son brought a '42 C8 cp.) at the '09 National in Detroit.
Ken U - Pete Laughlin's BIG car you saw is a '13 model 6-54, which he still has along with several others.
Pete & June such a wonderful couple,
sad to have him pass,
more of the "old guard" passing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
