INDIAN LAND, SC ~ Peter Comerford, 74 years old, left this world early in the morning of Saturday, November 28, with his wife of 51 years, Joan, by his side.

He is survived by his son, Brian (spouse Molly Murphy,) and his daughter, Pamela Burton (spouse George), and seven loving grandchildren - Brooke, Sean, Patrick, Brady, Boone, Casey and B. Peter.

Peter is a graduate of Regis High School in NYC and Fairfield University in CT.

After a successful career in ocean shipping in the US and Canada, he and Joan retired to Charlotte, NC.   Seven years later, they moved south again to Sun City Carolina Lakes in Indian Land, SC.  Peter enjoyed several activities and loved all his new friends.  Then Harris Teeter came to town and Peter was hired and worked for ten years, assisting customers, and brightening their day.

It was Peter's genuineness and charm that will be missed.  He woke up every morning with a smile ready for the day to unfold into the greatest day ever.

His love of history, geography, classic movies, and government made Peter a formidable Jeopardy and trivia player.  Peter was a huge John Wayne fan and they visited Winterset, IA, home of the "Duke" in 2012. Since that visit, he has proudly worn a bracelet that reads WWJWD (What would John Wayne do?)

This is a person who was loved by all and will be missed greatly!
