Peter enjoyed being with family and friends, always there to help a friend or meet up with friends at a church function. You could always see Peter in Perth walking in the mornings waiting for his favorite coffee shop, Mary’s Bake Shop to open along with many other places he attended daily. Peter worked many years in Maine at the Beckwith Farm where he retired. Peter loved being with people playing cards and sharing stories, he thoroughly enjoyed family functions where he was the first to arrive and usually the last to leave. Peter was a well known jokester and would laugh just as hard while receiving jokes. He will be sadly missed by all family and friends, also his special ladies (we won’t mention any names).
