Peter Pipke Obituary
Born Peter Phillip Pipke on December 12th 1945 in Bristol CT to Walter and Dorothy (Goodrich) Pipke.
Peter was predeceased by his four older siblings.
Pete attended Bristol Schools and proudly lived in his family home his entire life. Pete enjoyed Forestville and was often seen driving his blue Dakota with his four legged buddy riding shotgun, or walking with Benny and more recently " Buddy". Pete has touched so many lives in a positive way he was always there to lend a hand or an ear. If you had the pleasure of knowing Pete you will understand how difficult finding the way in world without him is.
Pete was a quiet kind and simply peaceful soul and his passing is tremendous loss to our family. Pete has never missed a day without his life partner Doreen Mitchell Rabis or his surrogate Grandchildren Zane (9) Xander (7) Rabis, or their mom Brittany Rabis. He was the boys Papa Pete and their biggest supporter and finder of all lost things. Pete also leaves behind Doreen's Older Daughter Amber and her husband Mark LaCasse and their three children, with so many more family, friends and neighbors along the way.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date.

So very sorry for the loss of Pete.
He was such a kind man. He had so much knowledge of the history of Forestville and photos too.
