MOULTONBOROUGH --- BMC Peter Lewis Wright, USCGR (Ret.), 77, of Moultonborough, NH, went home to his Lord on Sunday, September 3, 2017, after a brief but courageous battle with mesothelioma.
Peter was born on October 29, 1939 in Center Sandwich, NH to Jonathan IV and Barbara (Smith) Wright. Peter graduated from Meriden High School (Meriden, CT) in 1958 and enlisted in the Navy following graduation. On October 19, 1963 he married the former Karen Mussmann in York, PA. After his Naval Service, Peter worked at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft in New Haven, CT and then moved to York, PA where he was employed at Caterpillar Tractor, Co. as a Quality Control Inspector; he retired from Caterpillar in 1997 after a thirty year career. Peter joined the United States Coast Guard Reserves in 1974 and retired from the Coast Guard in 1999. Following his retirement, Peter and Karen moved to Moultonborough, NH. Not one to be idle, Peter proudly served on many boards over the years - Moultonborough Planning Board, Sandwich Historical Society, Community Church of Sandwich; Rural Cemetery Association, State Fair Association and the Sandwich Fair Association. Peter also worked for the Town of Moultonborough as the caretaker of the Town's cemeteries.
Peter is survived by his wife, Karen of 54 years, son Jonathan of Bethlehem, NH, daughter Jennifer of Sandwich, NH, three grandchildren and one great grandchild. Peter was a loving father, husband, grandfather and friend to all.
A celebration of life service will be held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, September 30 at the Community Church of Sandwich (Methodist Meetinghouse), 6 Main Street, Center Sandwich, NH, Pastor Mark Whitman, Jr. officiating. Burial will follow at the Rural Cemetery, Church Street. It was Peter's wish that memorials be made to either the Community Church of Sandwich or the Sandwich Historical Society.
