John H. Peri, age 45 of Peapack-Gladstone, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 30, 2012.
John was a trader with Concept Capital Markets, LLC in Manhattan and had also worked at Knight Capital Group for many years.
John had lived in Elmwood Park as a young boy. Sadly, he lost his father in 1971 when he was just four and a half years old. In 1974, his mother married Joseph Peri and their family moved to Wayne. John’s family, now merged with the Peri family, included seven children.
Athletics was the one thing that defined John. Ever since he was a baby, he always had a ball in his hand. Football, baseball, soccer, you name it – he played it well. During his time at Wayne Hills High School, he was a pitcher for the Patriots baseball team, a star kicker for the football team, and an excellent soccer player. After college, he took up golf and found that to be his new love. He played golf often and had introduced his son Ritchie to the game too, getting him lessons with a golf-pro and encouraging him to play. He was a Yankee’s fan and enjoyed going to Giants home games whenever he could.
John’s children were the light of his life and nothing brought him more joy than they did. All three of them are athletes and John was very proud to be involved with coaching them. He was also proud of their musical talents; each of them can play the piano, saxophone and guitar. Date-nights with his daughter C.J. were particularly special, including their visits to the American Girl Doll store in Manhattan.
John is survived by his wife Sheila of Peapack-Gladstone, his three children; Ritchie, Celia, and Jonathan (Rocco), his parents; Patricia and Joe Peri of Wayne, and six siblings; James Peri and his wife Michele, Robert Peri and his wife Ann, Joseph Leskow and his wife Sandra of Wayne, Glen Peri, Michael Peri and his wife Tiffani, Glen Peri, and Joanne Ballard and her husband Jeff, as well as many loving nieces, nephews and dear friends.
