(July 9, 1925-October 5, 2016)
Born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1956 Peter escaped Hungary. Peter married his wife of 59 years in Munich, Germany in October, 1957. Together they immigrated to the United States in 1961. They lived and worked in New York until their retirement. For the last 14 years they lived in Issaquah, Washington where Peter died peacefully on the evening of October 5th. Of their 59 years together Ilona remembers both the good times and the difficult times. He was a really good man.
Peter is survived by his wife Ilona, his cousins Susan, Kati, Tibor and Xenia, his nieces Maria and Aniko, his godson George and his Goddaughter Maria.
The family wishes to thank everyone at the Swedish Issaquah ICU, particularly Dr. Lee and Nurse Deanna for their extraordinary care and compassion in Peter’s final days.
