Peter Brewer

Peter Brewer, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully in his home at the age of 77. Born on February 4th, 1947, in New Rochelle, New York, to parents John and Helen Brewer, Peter's life was marked by devotion, a spirited love for his hobbies, and a deep commitment to his family and friends. Raised in Pelham, Peter’s early fascination with automobiles steered him toward a career as an accomplished mechanic after completing trade school. His pride in automotive restoration was epitomized by his meticulously cared-for 1957 Thunderbird, a true symbol of his passion and skill. Peter's talents extended beyond the garage; he was also a proficient handyman and an avid fisherman, often retreating to Rhode Island for cherished fishing trips with friends. His love for the ocean was mirrored at home with a impeccably maintained saltwater fish tank, bringing a piece of the sea into his everyday life. A proud member of the American Legion in City Island, Peter found joy and camaraderie in playing darts and was particularly enthusiastic about the Legion’s annual events where he volunteered his skills in the kitchen, much to the delight of all who attended. Peter leaves behind his loving wife of 45 years, Elsa, and daughters, Christina (John), Theresa (João) and Marika. He was a proud grandfather to, Mia, Johnny, Dean, and Emma, whose achievements and milestones were a constant source of joy in his life. Predeceased by his siblings Jack, Joan, and Tom, Peter's legacy of kindness, generosity, and community spirit will live on through his family and all who knew him. Family, friends, and those whose lives Peter touched are invited to the Bosak Funeral Home, 453 Shippan Ave, Stamford CT on Monday, April 15th, from 2pm to 6pm to remember and celebrate his life. A private cremation will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations in Peter’s memory can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or LUNGevity Foundation, organizations that reflect his fighting spirit. Peter Brewer's life was a journey of passion, dedication, and love — a journey that touched many and will continue to inspire those who knew him. He will be profoundly missed.
