Pelle is survived by his wife of 65 years, Judy. He had two sons, Scott and Eric, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Peggy and Jim McLean, a niece and nephew, and numerous cousins.

A celebration of Pelle’ s life was held March 23 at Greenwood Cemetery, Cathlamet.
