He went on to further his education at Providence College in Rhode Island and ultimately spent many years working for Skiing Magazine and Motor Boating and Sailing Magazine. In his later years Peter was a very talented, self-employed painter and he enjoyed this profession very much. Peter enjoyed life and easily made friends wherever he went. His greatest love was his children and grandchildren and he loved spending his time with them. Peter loved the NY Mets, the NY Giants, he loved playing golf and was a fantastic skier in his day. Peter especially loved his morning cup of coffee and his daily NY Times crossword puzzles which he often times finished front to back in pen. Peter had many friends and was loved by all he met. He could always be counted on for his humor and wit and he will forever be missed and loved. Funeral arrangements are private under the direction of Thompson Memorial Home, 310 Broad St, Red Bank, NJ. Dear Dad - forever we will have Chatham.
