Peter Gillingham Obituary
He was born on February 5, 1951 to the late John and Mary Jayne (Wagner) Gillingham in Oshkosh, WI.
Peter's unwavering positivity, boundless love, and steadfast support touched everyone who knew him. He cherished every moment spent with those he loved, especially his family and friends. He was happiest simply being near the people and pets that meant the most to him. His granddogs held a special place in his heart, and gentle presence brought comfort to all.
Peter is survived by his wife, Donna; daughter, Jamie (Sheliah) Gillingham; and his granddogs. He is preceded in death by many loving family and friends.
Per Peter's wishes, no services will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Oshkosh Area Humane Society.
His kindness, laughter, and love will live in our hearts forever.

Sending my deepest condolences to Donna and Jamie. I can't remember a time I saw Pete in the last 40 years that he wasn't smiling. It will take a while for your hearts to heal from this, but know that he is smiling down on us all right now. Sending hugs and much love!!

For many years coffee with "The Boys" was a wonderful way to start the day with your friends at Mikes Restaurant. Gradually as the years passed our group of 7 or 8 dropped off. Pete & I continued to have coffee on a weekly rather than a daily basis.
I enjoyed our coffee Get togethers & will
miss Pete very much. A good friend, R.I.P. Pete
Condolences to Donna & Jamie, He was a good man.

Im so heartbroken to hear of Pete's passing. We worked together for several years & I'll always remember him buzzing around at 30 mph in the hallways always with a cheery greeting & a positive attitude. Since his retirement we'd run into each other & catch up for a few minutes or stay connected on social media. You will be forever missed, my friend; you're one of the great ones. My deepest sympathies to the family.

My family and I have known Peter for many years, and considered him a true friend. He always had thoughtful words of encouragement and a positive attitude towards life. I remember how he had loved the sunshine, and he truly was the sunshine in so many of our lives. He will be missed.

Peter was the kindest person...his loved his family "the core"
Unconditionally. Donna and Jamie gave him immense joy. Jamie´s wedding made him incredibly proud. He had a host of friends who loved him . He didn´t have a bad word to say about anyone-well, maybe a sideways glance. No one dared tell him his dogs weren´t human and for many years some thought he had a grandchild named Squirrel. He was very simply a good man. I will miss him
