Peter Gluckler Obituary
Peter was raised in Hanover, Massachusetts and attended Hanover High School. An alumnus of Boston University, he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Communications in 1966. Following the completion of his studies, he married his high school sweetheart and wife of 53 years, Rosemary (Frattalone) Gluckler. The couple settled initially in Acton, Massachusetts before moving with their family to Amherst and finally relocating to York, Maine in 1997.
He began his professional career as a small-town newspaper editor, and then served in administrative positions at the University of Massachusetts and Hampshire College. Later in life, he was variously involved in home building, land development, and commercial and residential real estate. He worked as a real estate broker for the Masiello Group in York.
An avid gardener, woodworking hobbyist, sometime historian, and voracious reader forever curious of the world around him, he leaves his wife Rosemary; his son Peter E. Gluckler Jr. and wife Maria E. Beltran de Gluckler and son Aaron C. Gluckler; his grandson Aaron C. Gluckler Jr. and step grandsons Jose L. and Javier A. Valdivieso. He is also survived by his sisters, Anne A. Uihlein and Carol L. Mendonca and her husband George; and nieces, Katherine Y. Newport and Thayer E. Weinblad.
SERVICES: A tented open-air service will be held graveside at the Hanover Center Cemetery in Hanover, Massachusetts at 11 a.m., on Saturday, August 15. In accordance with public health guidelines, it is requested that those attending the service wear face coverings and practice social distancing.

My sincere condolences to Peter's wife and family. I had the opportunity to work with Peter on several business deals and always appreciated the experience. His warm smile and solid professionalism were always in abundance!

I will miss Peter's quiet sense of humor and wisdom. He often mentioned his love for gardening which apparently he had a lot of talent for. My one comment to him early on in our relationship was "weeds did very well under my guidance". The perplexed look on his face I found delightful. My trips to York will not be the same. My deepest sympathies to his family. Keep the memories living.

Peter was a valued commercial real estate colleague and reliable source of information for all things York or Kittery. I had the pleasure of doing several deals with him and will miss him terribly. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family in this difficult time. Our profession is that much poorer with Peter’s loss.
