Peter Southway, age 82, of Wyckoff, on Tuesday, December 27, 2016.

Born in Prospect Park, NJ, he was a resident of Wyckoff since 1991.

Peter was a graduate of the American Institute of Banking and former president of Valley National Bank of Wayne, retiring in 2001 following a fifty-year career. He also served in numerous roles with local civic, philanthropic, and religious organizations during the span of his lifetime. He was a long-time member of the Ebenezer Netherlands Reformed Church of Franklin Lakes.

Peter was the beloved husband of Lena (nee Hoogmoed) to whom he was blessed with 58 years of marriage; loving father of Arlene den Hollander of Lincoln Park, and Peter J. and wife Marilyn Southway of Fredon Township; and beloved grandfather of Matthew and wife Patricia Southway, Leah and husband Samuel Moerdyk, Sarah den Hollander, Hannah Southway, Sadie Southway, Laina Southway, Jonathan den Hollander, Cornelius Southway, and Mark Southway. He is also survived by four cherished great-grandchildren; and two brothers: Cornelius and wife Jean Southway of Warwick, NY, and Howard and wife Eleanor Southway of Rockaway.

Peter was predeceased by his brother Robert and wife Beatrice Southway, and his son-in-law Jon den Hollander.

In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Peter’s name are asked to consider the Netherlands Reformed Christian School Endowment Fund, 164 Jacksonville Road, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444.
