Peter was a veteran, having served in the Navy between 1951 to 1955 (during Korean War). Throughout most of his life, he was a scratch golfer due to his discipline and mastery of the game. Using that same discipline and work ethic that characterized his approach to everything he did, Peter built Cyrco, inc. into a successful industrial services business. Peter was a member of St. Benedict’s Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. A man of many talents and abilities, he rarely knew an idle moment. During retirement, if he wasn’t hitting golf balls Pete could be found perfecting his chili recipe, working on projects, building a deck, tending to his gardens, or working on the yard at their homes in Greensboro, NC and Northport, Maine.
A devoted and loving family man, Peter lived a life of true humility, quiet compassion, and sustaining strength with a sense of humor that never failed to lighten the load of everyone around him. He was unfailingly kind and slow to anger. Through the way he lived, right up to the last days and hours, he passed along many life lessons. Although we are profoundly saddened at his passing, the family considers ourselves blessed to have had such a wonderful husband, father, grandfather.
A funeral mass was held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday December 5, 2022 at the Notre Dame Catholic Church in Waterville, Maine. Interment followed in the St. Francis de Sales Catholic cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made to St. Jude Hospital or Pennybyrn at Maryfield 109 Penny Road High Point, NC 27260. The family would like to thank the staff of AuthoraCare for the palliative/hospice care they provided for Peter during the last few months.
