Peter A. Roane passed from this world Valentine’s Day, 2022, in Atlanta, GA. He was born to the late Simeon and Francis Roane in New Bedford, MA but grew up in Greenville SC; a place where he made lifelong friends, served as altar boy, and played high school football.
Upon graduating from Greenville HS in ‘54, he went on to Georgia Tech where he was lovingly known as ‘Gut’ at the SAE house, serving as fraternity president. Upon graduation from Tech, he married his high school sweetheart, Carolyn, who now survives him after 64 years of marriage.
Peter was an extraordinary businessman, an avid golfer and had the utmost integrity. His career with Anchor Hocking glass spanned nearly 25 years before he set out on his own in California.
Those that loved Peter, and there were many, would describe him as a consummate gentleman filled with stories, stories accompanied by much laughter, and many pours with family and friends. He was the one you wanted in your foursome, in your corner, and in your heart. As devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend, his ashes shall be laid along the tidal marshes of Baynard Cove in Hilton Head Island, SC.
Peter is survived by his wife Carolyn Roane; children Temple (Kevin) George, Robin Roane, Simeon (Darcy) Roane; grandchildren Drew, Eben, India; great grandchild Kaiden; siblings Temple M. (Elsie) Roane, Nancy (Wayne) Bartlett, Sally (Ned) Helms, and Sherry (Joe) Thomas.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to your local Alzheimer’s Association chapter, a cause that Peter has supported through the years.
