PETER KEKIC, JR., age 89, beloved husband of Mary (nee Kozuh); loving step-father of Diane Dearden (Greg), Carol Brinda (deceased), Charles Brinda (Nancy) and Gloria Schuster (Rick); grandfather of Michael (Kelly), Lisa, Laura (Kevin), Amy, Andrew, Colin and
Catherine; great grandfather of Abby, Gabe, Olivia and Alex. Retired Garfield Hts. Board of Education teacher and librarian. January 16, 2010 in Columbus, OH. Peter was a humble man, a wonderful husband, stepfather, relative and friend. He asked for very little in his lifetime. Golf at Big Met, sports and stopping for a coffee and donut brightened his days. He was quietly intellectual, doing crossword puzzles, looking up words in the dictionary or encyclopedia, a tribute to his profession as a librarian. He also had the ability to fix about anything that went wrong around the house, accumulating enough tools to supply several households! He was a gentle man who enriched the lives of each of us. Thank you, Peter, for who you were and the gift of your life. You will be greatly missed by all.
