Peter Wood Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 27, 2012.
Peter L. Wood, 53 of Boston MA, died suddenly Wednesday night October 24th 2012 at Cape Cod Hospital. Born May 16th 1959, he was the son of the late Norman E. Wood Sr., and Theresa F. (Monteiro)Wood. He was the youngest of seven siblings; a son first; brother, godson, nephew, cousin, uncle, husband, father, beloved grandfather, and dear friend. Peter was an incredible man with many talents, and dreams. Peter attended Saint Johns Grammar School, and was a graduate of Cathedral High School in Boston. He also attended U-Mass Dartmouth, and soon after was hired as an accountant for Carter & Rice. At the age of 23 he began working for the M.B.T.A. for 26 years up to his retirement. He then relocated residentially to Cape Cod, and continued his occupation driving as a seasoned Nantucket tour guide for Hy-Line, and bus driver for Cape Destinations. His acclaimed talents exploded in the arts on-stage acting, during and throughout his late teens, to his early twenty's, and music was always in his blood. He was known for his funky charismatic personality, and never forgot to use his voice. He was a former lead singer of the acclaimed local New England musical group Silkwood, a family musical group consisting of originating members including his brothers and daughter. If "Pete" wasn't working, he was singing, and often would mention, that there was no distinction between the two. Peter had a comedic fun side to him, but also a forever-sincere kindness that defined him as a man who believed that family is the most important thing, and the principle of heritage and legacy should always be preserved, and more importantly... He was truly an all out great man. Who will be forever missed, and always remembered…
Peter was well loved by everyone that knew him; family, friends, and his co-workers. He is survived by his brothers; Norman E. Wood Jr. of Boston, Dwight F. Wood of Boston, Michael R. Wood of Hyannis, Steven B. Wood of Hyannis, and his loving sisters, Marie E. Askew-Lee of Everett, and his beloved late sister Patricia A. Wood-Lawrence of Boston. His mother, Theresa F. (Monteiro) Wood of South Dennis, his wife Kim Gomez of Yarmouth, and his children; Keith R. Wood, Kandice T. Wood, Khery N. Wood, Shaquan D. Robinson, Sean D. Robinson, and his grandchild Aleyah R. Wood. Along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, sister and brother in-laws, nieces, nephews, and many friends. His funeral service will be held on Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012 at 11:00 am at the Doane, Beal & Ames Funeral Home 160 W. Main St., Hyannis. Visitation wil be held from 10:00 to 11:00 am prior to the service. Burial to follow in South Dennis Congregational Cemetery, South Dennis.

I was just reading through this again. I keep a picture of Pete on my Ipad. He loved you all so much, his beautiful children, his wonderful lady and the rest of his family. He spoke of his love for you all. Don't doubt for a moment that he knew your love for him, he knew. He was such a wonderful soul, he lives on through our memories. He is surely missed.

Peter, you must have been a special man, because you have left behind such a kind and loving family. Our hearts are with them at this time, and we pray that they find solace in knowing that you are at peace, with the Lord, our Father. Blessings.

Pete my Friend,
At times it takes years for a friendship to develop but I have known Pete for only 7 years. My first tour of Nantucket was on Pete's bus. He had us near tears when he expressed that there was no Kentucky Fried Chicken on Nantucket. When on security duty on the wharf, I was one of the first to greet Pete each morning, share his smile and wish him a good day. We'll all miss that smile. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Peter's Family.
Rest in peace my friend and "Have a Great Tour"

Kim, Sean ,Shaq & family,
No words can express how heavy my heart is, but through the sadness comes many smiles.... that was Peters gift to us, his heart was bigger than himself, his voice larger than life, but it was his love and patience he had for his family and friends that will never go away, Today I celebrate a good man and remember the good times we had, Sing it Lou Rawls Sing it! Our love and respects to Kim, Sean, Shaq and family xoxo

I can still hear Peter's booming voice in song. Peter was a larger than life kind of guy when it came to his love for his family which included his many, many cousins. His love for us was so evident. When he saw us, he would open his arms wide and give a big ole bear hug like it was the last time he would see you. How could we have known that it was. I miss you my cousin. My heart goes out to all of our family.

To the Wood Family;
God saw that Peter was getting tired and a cure was not ment to be, so he put his arms around Peter and whispered "Come to Me". His golden heart stopped beating and a warm loving heart to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us that he only takes the best.

Much love Marcia
