There wasn’t a dry eye in the house on Thursday at Dukes Of Hazzard star Catherine Bach’s husband’s funeral at Santa Monica Catholic Church, and RadarOnline.com has the moving photos.
Catherine’s husband, Peter Lopez, died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound at his Encino Hills home on the morning of Friday April 30.
Tragically, Lopez leaves behind two daughters, Sophia, 14 and Laura, 11. The girls were spotted leaning on their mom for support during the funeral service and not surprisingly, all three appeared inconsolable.

Lopez was a highly respected entertainment lawyer who worked with Michael Jackson, Michael Buble and also helped develop the careers of Wilson Phillips, Vanilla Ice and Andrea Bocelli.
In addition, he was a co-producer on Jennifer Lopez’s breakout film, Selena.
60-year-old Lopez was said to be suffering from depression, though in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Lopez’s mother, Eleanor, expressed her shock at her son’s suicide, saying that her son did not seem depressed on the days leading up to his death.
A sentiment echoed by Catherine’s ex-Dukes Of Hazzard co-star, John Schneider – who told RadarOnline.com, “I saw him only 3 weeks ago, and he seemed fine. Never underestimate the hard times that we are in, especially if you are a parent.”
