Peter Sheridan

Pearl River, NY - Peter F. Sheridan, 83, formerly of Pearl River, NY, died peacefully December 26, 2017, surrounded by his loving family. Born in the Bronx, NY on December 2, 1934 to the late Peter C. and Marcella (Mahedy) Sheridan, Peter attended St. Frances of Rome School, Mount Saint Michael Academy, and Manhattan College (Class of 1956), all in the Bronx, NY. He was an electrical engineer by degree, and worked as a sales engineer and manufacturers' representative for electrical equipment companies, serving New York Metropolitan Area utilities for over 50 years. With characteristic courage, imagination, integrity and intelligence, Pete founded and was Principal and President of Peter F. Sheridan, Inc., a very successful enterprise for over 30 years.

Pete's trademarks were his boundless optimism, contagious enthusiasm and senses of humor, fairness, honor and generosity. He put those qualities to great use as a coach and officer in the Pearl River Little League and Pee Wee Buccaneers football programs, as well as the St. Margaret School CYO basketball program. Pete served for many years as a member of the St. Margaret Parish Council, as well as on the Board of the Pearl River Nauraushaun Swim Club. Pete loved life and he loved people, and brought light and happiness everywhere he went, from the Bronx, to Pearl River, to his retirement home on Long Beach Island.

Predeceased by his beloved wife, Josephine (nee Biggins), Pete is survived by his devoted children; Peter T. Sheridan of Pearl River, NY, Thomas F. Sheridan (Vincent Walsh) of Washington, DC, Catherine Lawlor (John), of Little Rock, AR, Ann Sheridan of Manahawkin, NJ and Maureen Sheridan of Nyack, NY, and his sister, Ann Sheridan (Paul McAndrew) of Coopersburg, PA. He was the cherished and esteemed "Poppy" to Jack, Cara and Colleen Lawlor of Little Rock, AR and Tyler Steinbrunn of Manahawkin, NJ, and is loved by numerous nieces and nephews, as well as cousins from Arizona to Ireland.

Visiting is Monday January 1, 2018, from 4-8pm at Assumma-Shankey Funeral Home. A funeral mass will be held on Tuesday, January 2, 2018, at 10:00 am, at The Church of St. Aedan, 23 S.

I worked with Peter F. Sheridan at Robert A. Keeler, Incorporated in Lynbrook, New York from July 1975 until he left the company to go on to bigger and better endeavors. Peter was a great guy who was very warm, supportive and never had a bad thing to say about anyone, he was like the perfect big brother or cousin. When I left the Keeler Organization in November of 1978, Peter had by that time, left the Keeler Company and started his own manufacturers' representative agency. He was my inspiration and he is missed.

Dear Cathy (and all the sibs),

So very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad, especially during the holiday season. So glad you were all with him. Find comfort in knowing He and your mom were probably toasting in the New Year together! Thoughts and prayers with you all!

Dear Sheridan Family:

My condolences for the loss of such a great guy! I am a fellow rep from Michigan. As a youngster, he called on my grandfather who was a Consultant Engineer. His story was to tell my how great my grandfather was but I couldn't help seeing how great Pete was! I will pray for his soul but I am betting that he already made across those pearly gates. Thank you for such a fitting and lovely obituary!

The viewing is from 4 to 8 on Monday January 1. The funeral mass is on Tuesday morning at 10:00.
This is the correct information the website had incorrect times for both.

Sheridan Family, Pete will be remember and missed by many, he was a good friend and a great business man, he helped me early in my career, we had good times at EERA and IEEE meetings in New York City, and many fun times at the Irish Pub, one of his favorite places. God Bless you all and you are in our prayers.

To all the family of "little Pete" my thoughts are with you. I remember the times in Denville down back at the bungalow, Pete in his white shirt and a smile on his rosy face. R.I.P. big guy!

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
