Peter was a lifelong member of Abenaqui Country Club in Rye, NH where he was an avid golfer and a fierce competitor on the tennis courts as a multiple time club champion. His favorite things were time with his friends and family, long walks on Jenness Beach, a cup of coffee from Summer Sessions, attending his garden, projects around his home, family cookouts and time on his screened porch. He was always focused on what was next, what was possible and how to get there. There will be a private funeral service for Peter. A memorial celebration will be scheduled this summer.
