Peter died Nov. 7, 2017, in Vero Beach, Fla., after valiantly struggling for many years with the effects of multiple strokes.

Peter came to Princeton from the Lawrenceville School. While at Princeton he majored in biology and was a member of the Pre-Medical Society and Cloister Inn.

Peter studied medicine at Temple University, and after his degree and internship he served in the Army from 1967 to 1969, with a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam. In 1971 he began a private practice in general medicine in York, Pa., which he successfully maintained until he retired after suffering his first stroke in 1992.

Peter and his wife, Naomi, moved to Vero Beach, where despite the more favorable climate, he experienced difficulty in his recovery. Although he had relearned how to walk, by our 50th reunion he was wheelchair-bound, having suffered additional strokes in 2010 and 2011.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 33 years, Naomi; and their son, Ian. He is also survived by two daughters from a previous marriage, Alina Werner and Julie Kennedy; grandchildren Michael, Emily, and Olivia; and his brother, James Kennedy. The class offers its condolences to all.
