Peter L. Graen passed away on January 27th, 2015. Peter was born November 03, 1942 in the Northwest German village of Oedt. Peter was always drawn to the path less traveled and had a wonderful sense of adventure. Peter immigrated to the United States from Germany. He went on to graduate from Columbia University and start his own business. He believed in living his life to the fullest and enjoyed each day. Peter was a life-long sailor who was always happiest on the water. His business trips often took him back to Germany where he was able to visit with his family. Even though they were separated by many miles, they continued to be very close.
Through the years, he and Lorraine enjoyed many voyages around the world. Their favorites being on the Cunard Cruise Line. They created many wonderful memories and lifetime friends. He is survived by his wife Lorraine, sisters Brunhilde Beermann and Barbara Barth, daughter Loretta Coyne, son-in-law Chris Coyne and grandchildren Kaitlyn and Kelly.
