Memories and Condolences
for Peter McCarron

Not sure what to say?





Peter was my boss at Colgate-Palmolive's Park Ave HQ. A truly good person who was unfailingly warm, thoughtful and kind while also upholding high standards all around. Peter loved his family and encouraged me to have one. Brian and Erin were the apples of his eye and predictably cute visitors to the office in 1984-86. Its 2022 and having always held warm memoriess of Peter, I googled to find out how he was doing. Am bereft that I will not get a chance to tell him what a noble human he was but do hope his children will read this sometime and be proud go him. RIP Sir Peter!

To the McCarron Family - I am so saddeded to hear about Peter's passing. I worked with Peter at Colgate and in every conversation learned something new. He took the time to train others. He had a wonderful sense of humor and made me laugh on many occasions! He was a wonderful colleague and friend. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

Very sad to hear the news. Worked for Peter at Colgate for probably 10 years. He always made the time to listen and talk. Have a lot of fond memories. He always told you the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not. Was a great example.

Peter will always be remembered for his positive attitude, his kind demeanor and the willingness to assist all in achieving their goals. Just seeing his name brings back great, wonderful memories. Peter had the ability to make all individuals feel important and a valued member of the team. Working with Peter made individuals know they would achieve their goals regardless of any obstacles to success. Many thanks to his family for sharing him with the Colgate Family. Our thoughts and Prayers are with his Family at this time. Hopefully the tears will turn to smiles as we all remember what he added to our lives.
