Obituary
John Thomas Peters
April 2, 1932 – July 16, 2024
John Thomas Peters, beloved Husband, Father, Uncle, and Friend, passed away peacefully under hospice care on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, at the age of 92. Born on April 2, 1932, he was the son of the late William and Ann Peters. John Peters grew up with one brother and two sisters in Brooklyn, NY. John began working at a very young age to help support his family. Throughout his life, he was an automotive and truck mechanic and, towards the end of his career, he worked for the Syosset School District. He could fix anything. He married Patricia Swisher and had four beautiful children. John was a jovial man who loved cowboy movies, the New York Giants, Entenmann’s snacks, and, of course, spending time with his family. To his four grandchildren, he was known as “Poppy.” In addition to his parents, John is predeceased by his wife, Patricia Swisher Peters; two children, Michael Peters and Arleen Peters Elder; and his three siblings, William Peters, Mary Peters McNeil, and Eileen Peters Nielsen. John is survived by his two children Maureen Peters and John Terrence Peters; the widow and widower of his late children, Sheila Peters and David Elder; his four grandchildren Kelly Elder, Ryan Elder, Nicholas Peters, and Christopher Peters; and many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Funeral Services are being provided by Chapey and Sons Funeral Home located at 200 East Main Street, East Islip, NY. Viewing will be held on Friday July 19th from 3-5PM and 7-9PM.

John was a fine man. I always enjoyed chatting with him when I would go by his house in Baldwin. He lived to a good age. So sad that he lost his lovely wife Pat and daughter Arleen and recently his son Michael. My deepest condolences to his lovely daughter Maureen and his son Johnnie. I will miss him and will cherish times spent with him and his family. Kevin Foley.
