He was born in Glen Ridge, N.J., on Jan. 22, 1951, son of Constance (Perry) Hutchings of Granby and the late Joseph L. Hutchings Jr. He grew up in Granby before moving to South Windsor 35 years ago. Peter was a U.S. Marine Corps Reservist during the Vietnam War and was the manager of A.C. Petersen Farms Restaurant in West Hartford for 40 years before retiring. He enjoyed computer games, collecting coins and baseball cards, and doing puzzles. He also enjoyed spending time with his cats, Bennett, Madden, and Sherman, and his good friend, David Moran. Peter was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and the New York Giants and had been a volunteer at the Wood Memorial Library in South Windsor.
His family sends a heartfelt thank you to the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center for the wonderful care that Peter received from them.

Luginbuhl, and her husband, Phillip, of Ellington; two brothers, Stanley D. Hutchings, and his wife, Deborah, of Walpole, N.H., and Joseph L.

Just wanted Peter's family to know others are thinking of you and sharing your sorrow. May Job 33:25 comfort you to know that when Peter awakens from sleep, he will live each day to the full with youthful vigor.
May God's Word, your treasured memories and your loving family and friends continue to be a source of comfort for you at this difficult time.
With Deep Sympathy,
JR
