Peter, born on September 21, 1945, grew up in Detroit, MI. He attended Mackenzie High School and Henry Ford Community College before embarking on his career in the automotive industry. For over thirty years, Peter worked as a tool and die maker at Chrysler’s Sterling Stamping Plant. At the age of 52, he retired from his dedicated service.

He found joy in running, biking, and fishing, as well as playing pool, golf, and bowling. He closely followed football, especially rooting for the Lions and Michigan State, and baseball, as an avid Tigers fan. Above all, Peter treasured moments spent with his family and friends.

Peter was a loving and compassionate husband, father, and grandfather. He left a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. His kind-heartedness and wisdom will be cherished and remembered forever.
