Pete died Feb. 3, 2026, in Charlottesville, Va., after suffering from vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.  

Pete came to us from G.A.R. Memorial High School in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., where he was vice president of his class and played football. At Princeton, he was active in varsity football, rugby, and freshman track. He was a co-recipient of the Charles W. Caldwell Memorial Trophy for most improved player. He majored in psychology and was a member of Cannon Club. Senior year he roomed with Stone, Andreini, Ashby, and Schroeder in 221 Walker. 

Upon graduating, Pete began a 43-year career in the teaching field. He started at Millbrook School in Millbrook, N.Y., where he taught mathematics and was a coach and administrator. He then moved to the Brunswick School in Greenwich, Conn., where he continued to teach math and became the technology director after earning a master’s degree in computers in education from Columbia. He spent the final phase of his career at Providence Day School in Charlotte, N.C., from which he retired. 

In retirement, Pete took advantage of all that was available to him in Charlottesville. He worked and played at a local golf course, participated in Senior Olympics, took up drawing and watercolor painting, attended free classes at the university, and traveled domestically and internationally.
