He owned and operated Pelzer Supply Limited, a painting and decorating business, and later served as Assistant Manager and Property Manager at local apartment buildings. An avid sports fan, he especially loved cheering on the Detroit Tigers, Red Wings, and Lions.

Peter’s legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. At his request, cremation has taken place. A Committal Service will be held at Heavenly Rest Cemetery on Friday, January 9th, at 11:00 a.m.
