life story

Devoted Husband, Father, Friend and "Pa"

Peter passed away at home on September 12, 2026, surrounded by his family. He was 78.

Peter was, above all else, a devoted family man who spent his life in service to his family, extended relatives, friends, and neighbors. He grew up in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where he became an Eagle Scout at just 12 years old — an early sign of the discipline and dedication that would define his life. He went on to earn both his undergraduate degree and MBA from Providence College, launching a career in the pharmaceutical industry. But it was retirement that brought his favorite role of all: Grandpa.

Peter is survived by his wife, Barbara (Sheridan); his children, Michael (Mara) and Melissa (David); and his grandchildren, Rae, Lucas, Michael, and Danny.

Two services will be held to celebrate Peter's life:
