Obituary


Henry F. Peters Jr, 89, of Pembroke Massachusetts died peacefully at his home on January 12.

Born in Abington, Massachusetts in 1933 and son of Henry F. Peters and Lila (Fongeallaz) Peters, he graduated from Northeastern University in 1963, which he attended on the GI bill after service in the Air Force during the Korean War.

Henry was a sales engineer, leading sales at technical manufacturing companies such as Lapp Insulator and Electroswitch. After leaving corporate life, Henry had a second career as co-owner of Morgan’s Power Equipment in Halifax.

He served on the town finance committees of both Whitman and Abington, and was a member of the Board of Directors at Abington Bank for many years. In his retirement, Henry loved to garden, golf, and read history and technical books – anything that challenged his curious mind.

He leaves behind his wife, Marie (DiMestico) Peters and three daughters – Michelle Peters of Boulder Creek, CA; Regina Buckley of New York, NY; and Angela Fox of Portland, OR as well as a sister and brother-in-law, Lillian and Donald Rockett of Abington MA. He also leaves behind his cherished grandsons: Benjamin and Archer Fox, and Oliver and Elliott Buckley as well as beloved nephew and nieces James Rockett and children Travis and Maggie, Diane Rockett and Elizabeth Rockett.

Family and friends are invited to attend his visiting hours on Wednesday January 18 from 4:00-7:00 PM in the Blanchard Funeral Chapel, Plymouth Street (Rte. 58 @ the rotary) Whitman. Funeral services will be held Thursday January 19 at 10:30 AM in the Chapel. Burial will follow the service in the Saint James Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to the Brockton Visiting Nurse, 500 Belmont St. / Suite 200, Brockton, MA 02301.
