h/o Catherine (Purdie) Baker
Pete graduated from Lenox Academy in Lenox, Massachusetts in 1962 and was active in the Alumni Association. Pete served in the Navy as a Seabee from 1964 to 1966 in active service and through 1970 in the Reserves.
Pete was employed by Ametek-Rotron from 1978 to 2010 as a mechanical computer aided designer. Previously, he was a Draftsman for Honeywell in Manchester, New Hampshire and Freeport, Illinois. He was an active member of the Onteora school community as a member of the PTA and was involved with many fundraising projects at both the elementary and secondary schools. He received the Jenkins Award from the New York State PTA and served on many committees within the district. One of his great pleasures was working on the Belleayre Bash, a graduation party held at Belleayre Ski Center.
After retirement, he was active in the Ulster & Delaware Railway Revitalization. He was also involved with a Seabee Chapter in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, and a supporter of the Vet's Rest Stop (VRS) in Lincoln, New Hampshire. He organized a Webster Elementary School and Manchester, New Hampshire Homecoming reunion. Pete put his skills as a graphic designer to good use by doing artwork for various groups. He was always on the computer, enjoyed his Facebook community and received much enjoyment from helping organizations with their logos. He also enjoyed researching his family's genealogy.
He is survived by his wife of fifty-four years, Catherine (Purdie); a son and two daughters; grandchildren; his brother. His sister, Carol McGrath, predeceased him.
