Peter A. Martin (Mario)
Peter Martin (Mario), age 62 of Fairfield passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 21, 2019, surrounded by his loving family. Peter created a successful career as a master builder, photographer and artist, after completing his Masters in Business Administration from McGill University in 1980. Peter's joy was in being outdoors and reaching the extraordinary goals he set for himself, including bicycling from Fairfield to California, once while at Andrew Warde High, then again in university. In later years, he enriched the lives of clients all around New England with his exquisite portrait and landscape photographs, imbuing everything he touched with great beauty. Most of all, Peter will be remembered as a man of the highest integrity whose motto was, "Character is Destiny".
A wake for Peter will be held on Thursday, July 25, 2019 from 4-8 p.m. at the Spear-Miller Funeral Home at 39 South Benson Road, Fairfield. All are invited to a Mass celebrating Peter to be held at St. Pius Church at 834 Brookside Drive at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, July 26, 2019. Peter is survived by his siblings Jack, Janice and Joe Mario and Anne Hoffman. We will forever miss him.

Hello Anne Peter's sister. I'm so sorry to just find out.
I live in Sweden now for 12 years.
I came home to visit my mom Kim in Rhode Island 2018. Peter was beaming so happy and healthy. I had also come to his house in Fairfield that time after so many years maybe 20. He fed us a fantastic organic dinner. He explained how he got a blood cancer had 6 months at diagnosis and cured himself holistically after conventional methods didn't work and he was near death.
I thought this was a miracle and as usual Peter ofcourse is a genius. He turned me on to the coffee enema.
I loved him as a big brother. I am 1964. But growing up with him as a mentor since I was 16 as he started doing some carpentry for my mom he became my mentor.
I worked for him painting houses with Martha and eventually I brought a friend Tom Ratigan to work with us.
Anyway, he always inspired me and I so looked up to him. He had so much great knowledge and philosophy and moral rules to live by. Yes only the good die young.
What a shame.
I would love to see have a copy of the video I filmed of him at The Beat in Port Chester NY.
Not only was he smart but talented.
I cry and I miss will miss him as he pops in my head with wisdom from time to time.
Thank you for listening and peace to you. Carlo Kyprios

Anne, I am sorry to hear that Peter passed away last summer. I can still hear that black guitar that he was so fond of playing in the front room of the apartment we shared on Lorne Crescent in Montreal. And the memory of the saturday Peter, myself and couple other friends went down to a recording studio and played Neil Young's Southern Man for hours. Please accept my sincere condolences. Also, I want to encourage you to get in touch with the McGill News. I receive the magazine every month and they publish memorials for former students. Its another way to let people know what has happened. Be Well, Peace. Mark Haynes

Anne, Please accept my heart-felt sympathy for the loss of your brother Peter. We were friends in high school, and took a bike trip to Rhode Island with a bunch of our mutual friends, I think around the summer of 1972.
Fast-forward to 2007, I ran into Peter, after not seeing him for 35 years, and we had a long conversation about life over a cup of tea. He was an articulate, soulful man, and will be missed.

Only just heard. We worked with Peter when he was taking pictures on film shoots with Dina Pace, and take photos for our website. He was talented, cheerful and full of interesting and obscure knowledge. Sincere condolences to his friends and family from Phillippa Ewing and Arthur Weiland.

I knew him and my deepest sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Peter. May the comfort of our heavenly father who is our Rock & Stronghold give you peace and in this time of grief. He is our shield and the God of refuge. Psalms 18:2. Sincerely, JR
