Peter joined the USMC at the age of 17 in 1943. He served in the South Pacific during WWII, later in China, Korean War, and in Vietnam. He retired from the USMC after 26 years of honorable service to this Country as a Master Gunnery Sergeant. He later retired from Craven County Schools, teaching shop and electronics. He was a man of great knowledge and truly enjoyed fixing things.

Our Father and Grandfather was a man of his word, he was strong and supportive in many ways. He was an honest man who worked hard and was endlessly devoted to his family. He paved a path that many of us chose to follow and helped us along the way. He was the best Daddy and Papa that anyone could have asked for, rest in peace, we all love you dearly.
