Peter Caesar Obituary

Peter P. Caesar III, 89, of Brownsville, VT passed away Sunday, June 11, 2023.

Peter lived in Newington and he worked for J.H. Scelza Inc. for over 45 years as Vice President and CEO.

In his earlier days, he loved to bowl ten pin where he had a solid 187 average yearly. He also liked to fish and loved all sports. He was very handy at woodworking, such as building tables, decks, sheds, and planters.

In his later years, he loved to tend to his vegetable garden, especially his hot peppers, and to sit on his deck and read a good book or do a crossword puzzle.

He is survived by his sister Barbara Ouellette of Newington and his five children, Karen Forsman and her husband Greg of Newington, Peter Caesar and his wife Debra of Newington, Gregg Caesar and his wife Cindy of Rocky Hill, Mark Caesar and his partner Kirsten Davies of Newington, and Brian Caesar of East Hartford.

Mark, Gregg, Brian, Pete, Karen and family. I´m very sorry for your loss. I have so many great memories of your dad. Teaching me how to waterski at the lake. Telling me don´t worry come down the stairs Ginger won´t bite or at our Varsity games cheering us on with his cigar. He will always be held high in my memories. Very sorry I missed the calling hrs.

To you, Brian, and your family I offer my heartfelt prayers and condolences.

My Dad passed away on the same day in 2008, and I still feel the absence- but celebrate the presence of his many gifts to us all in the daily things we do.

Know that you are held close in the compassion and Love of Our Lord.
