Peter "Pete" "Captain" McDermott, 84, of Newington, passed away on July 9, 2025 at Hartford Hospital. If you knew Pete, you know what a loss this is to his family and friends, of which there are many. His quick wit, charm, dashing smile, and resilient, stable nature contributed to his accolades...
Read MoreI enjoyed getting to know Pete quite well during the decade beginning in 2010 as he and my sister Diana were steady companions . I liked him immensely from the first time I met him and throughout the years . Laughter was always a big part of our time together and I and the world will miss that and his genuine decency . RIP Captain

I remember Pete when he worked at the Windsor PD with my husband. He always had a great, big smile for everyone. He loved to talk about his family and I know all of you will miss him terribly. My thoughts go out to you all

My condolences to the family I remember Pete when I did ride alongs and camping trips as a West Hartford police Explorer. Pete and Mike Liddy were good friends to my parents with their connection to Irish music. Rest in peace my fellow Irishman.
