Peter Roy Sederquist, 71, died on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, at his home in Plantation, Florida.
Peter was born in Laconia, and maintained residence in Alton Bay among his beloved community there his entire life.
Peter graduated from Maine Maritime Academy and went on to have a 33-year career as Chief Engineer in the Merchant Marines. In his spare time he enjoyed the outdoors, especially skiing and riding his motorcycle with his wife Roni, watching the Red Sox for a “good game”, and spending time with his children and grandchildren in Florida. He loved the foods of New England and a good celebration with cake and ice cream.
Peter was the youngest of three children. He was a dedicated member of his family and stood as a stalwart pillar of support for all who loved him. After meeting in their youth, Peter and Roni found love when they married later in life and enjoyed a beautiful marriage.
They had the sincere privilege of watching the birth of their grandchildren together and being very involved in their lives.
Peter is survived by his wife, Roni Sederquist, and her children, Haley Roose and Shane Vonouk and Shane’s wife, Ann; grandchildren, Giovanni Roose and Eva Vonouk; sister-in-law, Gianpaola Sederquist; and nephews, Marco Sederquist and Robert Sederquist.
