Peter Prentice Obituary
October 11, 2023
Atascadero, California - Peter Prentice, age 76, passed away on October 11, 2023, in Atascadero, CA. He has joined his beloved wife in heaven. Pete grew up in Southern California, where he enjoyed hanging at the beach and growing plants. He served his country in the Vietnam War as a weather forecaster in the Air Force, and came home to Orange County where he met the love of his life, Toni. Toni and Pete would marry and relocate to Atascadero in the mid-1970s. Pete attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on his GI bill, studying horticulture, and went on to become the superintendent of the Avila Beach Golf Course where he worked for two decades. Pete was absolutely adored by his two nieces and nephew, who would visit every summer and learn to garden and play basketball from their favorite uncle. Pete is survived by his nieces, nephew, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, as well as his dear friends Ralph and Joe.

My condolences to the family. I´ve known Toni and Pete since 1978. I worked with Toni. Pete was the best husband to Toni, especially during her illness. I miss their friendship. May they rest in peace. Mary York

Peter was a great guy who was always willing to help fellow golf course superintendents. I also worked with Peter´s wife Toni in the department of General Services for San Luis Obispo County. They both had a heart of gold!
