Peter served in the Army in World War II. He was a wonderful son, husband and father, raising five girls — thank goodness he was a master plumber. In his younger years, he was often mistaken to be Dean Martin, belting out Volare' at will.
He was an avid harmonica player, fisherman, card player and loved his bingo. During his reflective years at Guardian Angels High Rise, he became very thankful of his family and friends. He was able to "make peace," with his maker.
He is survived by his five loving daughters, Claudia Volk, Deana (Tom) Derr, Tona Meier, Jackie (Jimmy) Benolkin and Julie (Joe) Duevel; his grandchildren, Tom (Amanda) Volk, Matt (Amy) Volk, Scott (Andrea) Volk, Rachel (Will) Ducharme, Lisa Lagoon, Lauren Benolkin, Jena Benolkin, Matthias Duevel and Chelsea Duevel; his great-grandchildren, Brady and Avery Ducharme, Nathan Lagoon and Jude Michael Volk; and family friend, Bertta. He is also survived by his brothers, Matt (Delores) Meier and Robert "Amos"Meier.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Helen Kraft; one grandson, Peter Volk; one son-in-law, Martin Volk; and several brothers and a sister.
