Herbert Wallace St. Peter

Herbert Wallace St. Peter, of Columbia and formerly of Colchester, passed away peacefully Tuesday (Feb. 7, 2017) at the age of 60. Born July 29, 1956 in Norwich, he was the son of the late Gerald and Viola “Ginger” (Rogers) St. Peter. Herb grew up in Colchester and attended Bacon Academy with the Class of 1974.  He enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served proudly at the end of the Vietnam War until his honorable discharge in January of 1978. Herb gave his all in whatever he did – from his die-hard work ethic with Local 230; to his love for his family, especially his grandchildren; and just his zest for life, living each moment to its fullest. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched; as he leaves his three children, Heath St. Peter (and his wife, Lauren) of East Haddam, Faith Farina of Moodus and Kelly Dessureault of East Hampton; seven grandchildren, Logan and Garrett Meseroll, Kallysta, Lucas and Nathaniel Farina and Edward and Matthew Dessureault; four siblings – sisters, Cheryl Montgomery (and her husband, Mike) of Lebanon and Meredith Cable (and her husband, Jon) of St. Cloud, FL; and two brothers, Gerald St. Peter (and his wife, Cathy) of Colchester and John St. Peter of Winsted; and so very many friends. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Herb's life on Saturday, February 18th from 5-9pm at the American Legion, Neptune Ave., Moodus . Care of arrangements has been entrusted to the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home of Colchester.
