He was born November 23, 1941, in Boston.

Peter considered himself a lucky guy, born and grew up in the Boston area and lived most of his adult life in the Bay Area- it does not get much better than that. He had loving parents, great siblings, fortunate enough to attend great Massachusetts, public schools, B.C., and Georgetown, married the right girl, four terrific sons, played golf with some great guys, went to work for about the only major steamship company that survived his working career, let Eunice find Danville and St Joan of Arc. Pretty fortunate.

His faith was a major part of his life. Peter frequently attended weekday mass and was an ardent believer in social justice.

Family and friends are invited to a funeral mass which will be celebrated at St Joan of Arc, San Ramon Valley Blvd, San Ramon CA on April 29 at 1pm, lunch to follow.
