Peter Moore Antos

Peter Moore Antos, of Farmington, CT, died unexpectedly on Sunday, March 20, 2022 with his wife and daughter at his side. He had been working hard to recover following a traumatic fall last November. Peter was born June 8, 1945 at Hartford Hospital to Louis and Ruth (Moore) Antos, both deceased. After attending Renbrook School, Peter graduated in 1963 from The Loomis Chaffee School. He attended Tufts University, graduating in 1967 with a B.A. in Economics and Psychology. Next came an M.B.A. from Columbia University School of Business along with Doctoral studies in Finance. He was also a Chartered Financial Analyst since 1980. His career took him to Arnold Bernhard & Company in 1971 where he was a senior analyst/editor for Value Line Investment Survey. In 1976, he joined Connecticut Mutual, (which later became Mass Mutual-owned Oppenheimer Funds) working his way up in the investment department to Senior Portfolio Manager from 1989-2000. During those years, his expertise, along with a dedicated team, was recognized in various investment publications for their successes: Money, Investor Advisor, Kiplinger's, etc. In fact, in the October 1995 edition of Mutual Funds, Peter was dubbed "The Lord of Discipline" due to his investing approach. Before retiring in 2002, he spent two years as Senior Vice President, Equities at One Beacon Insurance. His retirement years gave him time to spend with family: his wife of 55 years, Dianne (Pronovost); his son, Mike, spouse Cheryl (Rizzo) and grandchild, Joseph Peter of Monrovia, CA; and his daughter, Kathryn Antos Mikkelson, husband Chad and granddaughters, Alyssa Anne and Amanda Ruth of Arlington, MA. He took up lawn bowling, enjoyed tending indoor plants, (especially Christmas cacti), volunteered at Stanley-Whitman House and Museum's dooryard gardens, and read voraciously-3 newspapers daily, plus books of various genres, especially Science Fiction. His dry, witty sense of humor was endearing. His love and devotion to his family were role model quality. A member of United Methodist Church of Hartford since his baptism in 1947, Peter's faith was an integral part of his being. There he served in numerous ways – Board of Trustees, first as chairman and then as treasurer; Church Council, church Finance chairman, webmaster, Sunday services sound operator. During the 1980's, Peter coached in the West Hartford Soccer League. Besides his immediate family, Peter is survived by a sister, Martha (Antos) Herrick and her husband, Fred; a brother, David Antos and his wife Carol (Benson); nieces, nephews, great-nieces and a great-nephew. His life was also enriched by many wonderful, caring friends. The family would like to thank the dedicated, hardworking people who cared for him at UCONN John Dempsey Hospital and Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital.
