Peter was a kind and hardworking family man who left an impression on those who met him. Peter served proudly in the United States Navy for 4 years during the Vietnam War, becoming a Blue Water Navy Veteran. He worked as a plant manager for several years at Kinro and Lippert before retiring.

Since their retirement, he and his wife, Deborah, enjoyed traveling together. Peter was often the life of any party and loved being around his many friends and family. Family meant the world to him, and nothing gave him more joy than to be with his grandchildren whom he adored.  Peter will be greatly missed by his loving family and friends.
