I do not believe it would be a good idea to change the club’s Callsign.I would vote against doing so, but I agree with Jeff, we can find another, more appropriate way to memorialize Pete.We can discuss this further at our next club meeting if you wish to do so.

Yes we could after it becomes available which may be several years.
His QRZ page is marked "SK". I don't know if the call has been surrounded to the FCC.
I don't think DCARC should ask for the call.
Pete was much more involved with other clubs/organizations.
One example is SFDXA to whom he left all his radio equipment.
As trustee of NA4DC I would honor the club's wishes if they voted to apply for the call.
Personally, I do not want to open that wound every time I hear the call sign on the club repeater.

Could the club apply to the FCC to capture Pete's call sign for use by the club, just as the ARRL did for W1AW, the call sign of their first president, Hiram P. Maxim?
