Peter Franco, age 79, of Wayne, NJ was born in Montclair, NJ and raised in Riverdale, NJ.
Peter was a Korean War Veteran who served in the United States Air Force from 1949 -1953. Stationed at Elmendorf Air Force base in Anchorage, Alaska, Peter was trained in Radio and helped install the DEW (Distance Early Warning) Line.
Peter was a carpenter by trade for over 40 years before he retired twelve years ago. Most recently he was employed as a courier for High Mountain Health.
Peter enjoyed playing with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and attending their church, school, and sport activities. His hobbies included working with stained glass, hunting, boating, and fishing.
Peter will be remembered for his strong devotion to his family, for always being there to lend a hand, and for his tremendous sense of humor.
As proud as Peter was of his government service, he was more proud of his family. Peter is survived by his Beloved wife of thirty-three years, Margaret (Hulbert); their daughter Shelley and her husband Larry Larthey of PA; their son Peter of FL; their daughter Lynn and husband Stephen Heydt; their daughter Diane and her husband David Rasa, M.D.; and their son Bob and his wife Linda. Peter is also survived by his grandchildren Jenifer, James, Kevin John, Jocelyn, Chelsy, Emily, Andrew, Davina, Nicole, Michael, Peter Joseph, Bobby, and Lilliana and is blessed with eleven great-grandchildren. Peter was a loving brother of Nicholas, Victor, Betty, Toni, and Lynn and was predeceased by a brother David and a sister Susan.
