Peter L. Gill

1949 - 2022

Peter L. Gill, 72, of Avon, beloved husband of Wendy (Lusk) Gill, passed away peacefully on Friday August 12, 2022 at home. Born on December 19, 1949 to the late Peter and Marion Gill, he grew up in Newington and was a graduate of Central Connecticut State University and the UConn MBA program. After a successful career in banking and insurance with Burritt Bancorp, Aetna and Fleet Bank, he retired as Vice President at Bank of America in 2004. Peter was an accomplished golfer with the Central CT Blue Devils golf team and nearly 50-year member of the Farmington Woods Golf Club where he won multiple club championships. Over the years he recorded a remarkable 15 hole-in-ones! Nothing was better than a day on the golf course with his buddies. Peter was a long-time resident and active member of the Farmington Woods community, serving on the golf and finance committees and as Treasurer of the Master Association Executive Board. He enjoyed gardening, a walk in the woods, Capitol Lunch hot dogs, Luke's jelly donuts, and a good joke. His wit and sense of humor kept us all laughing. Peter and Wendy were married for 31 years and shared many adventures together, including biking trips in Europe, annual vacations in Acadia National Park, and spending winter months in Sandestin, Florida. In addition to his wife, Peter is survived by his sister and brother-in-law Patricia and Donald Archibald of Cheshire, his nephew Daniel Archibald of Harrison, NY and his children Nate and Colette. Peter also leaves a special aunt and uncle Mary Ann and Bruce Anderson of Norfolk, several cousins and his sisters-in-law, Karen Gilday and her husband Brian of Waterford and Margaret Strafaci and her husband Mark of Niantic and many, many dear friends. Per Peter's wishes services will be private and at the convenience of the family. Carmon Funeral Home & Family Center of Avon has care of the arrangements.
