Peter was truly a "force of life". Brilliant, highly energetic, and knew how to live in the fullness of life. Proud of his Greek heritage and his family. He set a wonderful example of hard work and involvement in church and community as well as running many successful businesses. Peter was an amazing cook which led to his extreme success as a restaurateur with Peter Connell's Italian Inn in Maryland,and Connell's Winehouse on Reddington Beach in Florida. He was an officer in GAPA (Greek American Progressive Assn) and loved to dance! He took delight in his grandchildren. He will be missed by all of us who enjoyed his lust for life!
May his life be eternal, Peggy George
