A lifelong Red Sox and Bruins fan, Peter could be found most nights tuning into the Red Sox game during the season with a Coca-Cola in his hand. He cherished his visits to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox play and to the Boston Garden to cheer for the Bruins.
Peter spent a long time working in the financial services industry, including proud tenures at Phase 3 and at Fidelity Investments over the years. In his younger years, he was a long-time veteran of the Roche Bros. deli counter in Westwood. He was a spirited alumnus of Stonehill College.
Peter was committed to civic engagement in Dedham, serving on Dedham’s Finance Committee for years and involved with various election campaigns in the town over the years.
