Peter's journey through life was one of continuous learning and achievement. He proudly earned a Bachelor of Science degree, which laid the foundation for his successful career.

Following his military service, Peter embarked on a career in the financial field. Peter's professional life was characterized by integrity, a strong work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. He loved to garden and was an amateur historian of WWII.

At home, Peter was a loving and devoted husband to Mary Matthias Green. Together, they built a life filled with joy, laughter, and love. He was a guiding light and a source of strength for his children, Matthew Green, Lora Timonin, Elizabeth Ann Russ, and Susan Kildahl. Peter's wisdom, and kindness, were the cornerstones of the family, and his legacy will live on through them.

Peter's role as a grandfather was one he cherished. His five grandchildren were the recipients of his boundless affection and the stories of his life's adventures. He instilled in them the values of honesty, respect, and the importance of family.

He is also survived by his sister, Meredith Martin-Young.
