Peter J. Carter

Peter J. Carter, a beloved husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, at the age of 96. Born on the 4th of July 1927, he grew up in Lyndhurst, NJ.

After graduating from Lyndhurst High School, Peter answered the call of duty and joined the U.S. Navy, serving his country during World War II. Upon his return, he married his high school sweetheart, Dolores Delmonico, at Sacred Heart Church in Lyndhurst on May 24, 1952. The newlyweds honeymooned in Bermuda and embarked on a "wonderful and compassionate" marriage that spanned seventy-two years.

In 1957, the couple moved to Wayne, NJ, where they raised their son, Chris. Peter spent his entire career with NCR in Fair Lawn, NJ where he started out fixing machines. A dedicated worker, Peter worked his way up through the ranks at NCR and retired during the 1990’s as an executive in the company’s White Plains, NY offices. His skills were renowned, and he could fix anything with ease. It’s been said that the Carter’s never needed a serviceman to visit their home!

Peter and his wife, son and family members shared many cherished summers in Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ, where they owned a beach front property.   Peter had a passion for art and painting and this is seen in his many pieces of artwork he created over the years. As an accomplished artist, he created works in oil and charcoal, winning numerous Blue Ribbon Awards. 

Peter is survived by his beloved wife, Dolores (nee Delmonico) of Wayne, their son and daughter in law, Chris and Allyson, and granddaughter Nicole of Sherman Oaks, CA., his sister-in-law Doris Sanecki of Nutley, NJ, and many friends and loved ones who will all miss him dearly.
