Adobe Creek Funeral Home - Petaluma Obituary

Born in London, England to Alice Daltrey Press and Charles Edward Press. Beloved Husband of Lois Morgan Press. Loving Father of Kerry Moore (Doug), Michael Press, Steven Press (Karen) and Jeffrey Press. Cherished Grandfather of Bryan and Brett Matthews, Hannah Press and Kelly Press.


Pete was dearly loved by many extended family members and friends. Pete was born in London, England and relocated to Brighton, England during and after the war. In his teen years he moved to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He started his long banking career at the Canadian Bank of Commerce where he also met the love of his life, Lois. He moved to California in his twenties to work for Security Pacific Bank to further his banking career. He later worked for other banks including The Chartered Bank of London, Union Bank, and the Bank of San Francisco. Pete continued to work as a consultant until the time of his passing.


During his long life he enjoyed travel, golf, gardening and spending time with his family and friends.


At this time there are no services planned. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to be made to Hospice by the Bay https://718.thankyou4caring.org/sslpage.aspx?pid=392

Not sure what to say?

Lois,
I thought of Pete a few minutes ago, Googled him, and read of his passing earlier this year.
You may recall, back in 1983, after working with you in San Rafael, Pete reached out to explore my pursuing a career in banking, under his tutelage. While I didn’t take him up on his offer, his kindness and generosity made a lasting impression.
Lois, sending deepest condolences, and at the same time, a hearty hello across the years and miles. Thinking of you with fondest memories.

Dear Lois, I was so saddened to hear of Pete's
Passing. He and Gary were such good friends over the years. I will always remember him fondly and happy to have had the privilege to know him. Take care and thinking about you.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Press. Phoebe and Mark.
