Peter Sobieski Sr., a beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2024. Born on March 25, 1941, in Webster, Massachusetts, to John Sobieski and Eva (Talbot) Sobieski, Peter lived a full and rich life characterized by dedication, love, and an enduring appreciation for nature.
Peter served as a private in the Marine Corps during peacetime, displaying his commitment and patriotism. After his service, he married the love of his life, Judith Stevens. The two shared 50 wonderful years of marriage before Judith's passing on October 15, 2010.
Together, Peter and Judith raised four children in Southbridge, Massachusetts, where Peter worked diligently in manufacturing until his retirement. He was a quiet man with a gentle spirit and a dry sense of humor, traits that endeared him to all who knew him.
Peter is survived by his three daughters: Nancy-Jean Bogan of High Point, North Carolina; Sharon Morrill of Kittery, Maine; and Lynne Amara of Colchester, Connecticut. His siblings: Joseph Sobieski of Lisbon, Connecticut; William Sobieski of Seymour, Connecticut; and Mary-Jane Sobieski of West Kingston, Rhode Island. He is also survived by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy to his later years. Peter was predeceased by his son, Peter Sobieski Jr.
In his younger years, Peter enjoyed hunting and fishing, activities that allowed him to connect deeply with the natural world he so cherished. Throughout his life, he maintained a love for gardening, finding peace and satisfaction in nurturing his vegetable garden and sharing the bounty with friends and neighbors. A sports enthusiast, Peter uniquely appreciated both the Yankees and the Red Sox, enjoying the excitement and camaraderie of baseball.
For nearly 12 years, Peter resided in Kittery, Maine, with his daughter Sharon and her family. Surrounded by the love and laughter of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Peter's later years were filled with joy and contentment.
Peter's gentle nature, unwavering love for his family, and profound appreciation for the natural world will be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his loved ones and in the beauty of the gardens he so lovingly tended.
Rest in peace, Peter. You will be deeply missed.
