Pete enjoyed fishing, especially taking deep sea trips off the coast of New England. In his later years, he enjoyed traveling with his wife and friends. Though, more than anything, Pete enjoyed time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.
Pete is lovingly survived by his daughter Geralynn Roche. He was the devoted grandfather of Peter, Brandon, Beth, Samantha, Bradley and Melissa and great-grandfather to Jacob, Madelyn, Madison and Ryleigh. Sadly, he was predeceased by his son Lenny Wojtkiewicz.

I´m so sorry to hear Peter`s passing, but no that he will be reunited with his beloved Louise. He was always kind and generous with his time.
My condolences to his family at this difficult time.

I worked for Pete (W1TYK) from 59 - 61 at the South Acton shop in the big old grocery building next to the still existing fire station (not Exchange Hall). We frequently ate lunch together at Ma Quinn´s diner, or the Actonian.

Pete was a wonderful boss, a very sharp and competent tech, teacher and a warm friend!

A great guy with a very nice family!
Lenny and Geralynn were babies. Played with both.
