Obituary for Peter J Pilzer
On the 18th of January, 2018, Peter John Pilzer died peacefully after a short but dignified struggle with Pancreatic Cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family at his home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Barbara; 3 daughters Sarah, Anna, and Mantie; son-in-law Jeff Cavicchi; grandchildren James, Isabel, Atticus and Sebastian; and dear friends and extended family far and wide.
Born in Sweden Nov.1, 1939, Peter grew up in Henley-on-Thames, England and moved to London at age 19 to became a Chartered Accountant, working briefly for Price Waterhouse. He joined the international division of Colgate-Palmolive in 1968, which led to a successful and adventurous career living abroad and traveling extensively. He and Barbara settled with their family in Bronxville, NY in 1981 and as an avid tennis and squash player joined the Bronxville Field Club. Peter had many hobbies and interests, including woodworking, chess, art, and the Opera. Many people were the recipients of his talented woodworking gifts.
In 2013 Peter and Barbara left Bronxville and made a new life in Savannah, Georgia. There he became very involved in numerous clubs and activities, starting a club for both chess and woodworking. Peter was a larger than life character, full of wit and humor, charm and compassion and always making new friends wherever he went. Peter had a way of making all people feel welcome and at ease in his home, but above all he treasured his family and will be greatly missed. There will be a Celebration of Peter's life held on March 31st in Savanah, GA
