Peter O'Neill Obituary

Mystic - Peter O'Neill, born in Atlanta, on March 5, 1929, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2008, with his loving family at his bedside.

Peter spent the majority of his working career in the dredging industry, running Price Brothers Dredging business which operated throughout the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. Peter's true love was sailing, and he was both an accomplished offshore racer and boat builder. He won many significant offshore sailboat races throughout the United States during his racing career.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sally, and their three children, Darcy, Tim, and Michael; and seven grandchildren, Matthew, Katie, Sally, David, Megan, Wyeth, and Mack.

A morning service is planned for at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 3, 2008, at the Wadawanuck Club, in Stonington, where Peter was an active member. Friends are welcome.

In lieu of flowers, any contributions may be given to the VNASEC, 403 N. Frontage Road, Waterford CT 06385 or Hospice of SECT, 227 Dunham St., Norwich CT 06360, both were tremendously helpful.

My sympathy to you, Sally, and to Darcy, Tim and Michael. I remember many great times with you all, when you lived in Toledo, especially sailing on Lake Erie and visits to Loma Linda.
