Died on December 31, 2014 in Chatham, MA after a long illness.

He was born and raised in Washington, DC where he attended George Washington and American Universities.

During the Korean Conflict Pete served in the United States Marine Corps as a Drill Instructor at Parris Island, SC.

He was a sales manager in the life insurance and home building industries in Washington, DC and Maryland, residing in Louisville, Kentucky for many years before retiring to Wellfleet on Cape Cod with his wife, Arleen.
