Robert St. Peters Obituary

Robert "Bob" Allen St. Peters, 72, of Leeds, MA passed away unexpectedly of natural causes at home on 10/31/2020. Bob was born on February 11, 1948 in Montague, MA to Margaret (Schoener) and Alfred St. Peters. Bob grew up in Conway, MA on his family's farm and attended school in town. After graduating from Frontier Regional High School, he proudly enlisted and served in the U.S. Navy. He then attended Rhode Island Trade Shops and became a lifetime mechanic, working at various garages throughout the Pioneer Valley. Whenever his daughters stopped in at home, he would quietly make his way out to the driveway to check the oil in their cars and the air pressure in their tires. A man of few words and little emotion, it was his way of checking in on his girls.

Bob could be found tinkering with things in his garage, feeding his beloved deer, goats, and squirrels at Look Park, or riding his bike around town. Bob was a unique man who will be remembered by his family for his off-color sense of humor. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Jane (Malinowski) St. Peters, his three daughters Erika St. Peters (and her partner Eric), Kristine St. Peters, and Roberta "Bobbie" Fydenkevez. He also leaves behind his two grandchildren, Makayla and Matthew. Bob is also survived by his sisters Yvonne Schultz and Nancy Tribble and brothers Bruce St. Peters and Alfred St. Peters Jr., and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Arrangements are being handled by Wrisley Funeral Home of South Deerfield, MA. Services are private.

So sad to hear of this. He was always kind. And if he couldn’t fix it, it wasn’t broke. Our sympathies and condolences to his family.

Uncle Bob is one of the greatest men I ever knew. He is a role model and a hero. His dry, sardonic, wit and humor spoke wisdom that few can equal. Bob loved his family above all else. He would also go out of his way to help others in need. His gentle and rough exterior hid an ocean of generosity and kindness. Uncle Bob tolerated others with different points of view, in his own way, and expected that they do the same. He was an American patriot. Behind a humble exterior was a man who understood life better than most. Uncle Bob lived life on his own terms. Good times or rough times, we'll always get through. Bob will be be dearly missed.

Jane, Erika, Kris, Berta, I cried when I read of Bob's passing. He will be missed by many. Don't fret though, I am sure he is causing mischief in the next realm. Bob IS a unique wonder of the Universe. He is travelling now and leaving a lasting mark on all, of his wonderful, special and loving presemce. Uncle Bob is a great man. I am blessed to have known him. I look forward to meeting Bob again (not too soon though, kinda like it here for now).

Travel in peace and love my dear friend.

Sonny.
