Peter Alan Hermance

Peter Alan Hermance, 68, of the Plantsville section of Southington, CT, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at the Hospital of Central Connecticut, New Britain, CT. He was the devoted husband of the late Andrea (Santulli) Hermance.

Born on August 1, 1957, in Fremont, Michigan, Peter was the beloved son of Alicia (Van Zoeren) Hermance of Schenectady, NY, and the late Myron E. Hermance, Jr.

Peter proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. He enjoyed a long and successful career in the IT industry before his retirement. A man of faith and fellowship, he was a member of the Church of Christ Congregational, Newington, where he sang in the church choir, and served as Past Master of Valley Lodge #36 Freemasons.

Beyond his professional and community life, Peter was known for his warmth, humor, and generosity. He loved watching the races while camping at Lime Rock Park, and his greatest joy was cooking for his family and friends.
