Frank Edward Peters: The Patriot Ledger (Quincy, MA), Friday, 6 September 1991: (photo) Weymouth - Frank E. Peters, 64, of Weymouth, formerly of Quincy, a 33-year employee of Boston Harbor Marina/Marina Bay, died Wednesday at Quincy Hospital after a seven-year battle with heart disease and related illnesses. Mr. Peters spent his boyhood along the shore of Houghs Neck in Quincy. As a young man he made his living digging clams there and in Squantum and Hull. Later, he worked on several ships, including the Scelp out of Quincy Adams Yacht Club and the battleship USS Massachusetts. He worked at Fore River shipyard and other local shipyards during his career. Mr. Peters was a crane operator at Boston Harbor Marina. His daughter, Sharon Peters, of Weymouth, said Thursday her father had a great love and respect for the sea. He was concerned about pollution in Boston Harbor and feared that his grandchildren would not be able to enjoy the ocean wildlife or swim in clean Boston waters. He supported and contributed to environmental and wildlife causes. Mr. Peters, his daughter said, enjoyed classic literature and art but his greatest joy was in flowers and gardening. He was especially fond of irises. When inspired, he did oil paintings. Another of his hobbies was building models of lobster boats and dories. To his children, he stressed the importance of believing in one's work. He lived in Pembroke for several years before moving to Weymouth. Mr. Peters was born in Boston. He attended Quincy schools. He is survived by his former wife, Patricia (Orcutt) Peters; two sons, Edward Peters of Taunton and Thomas Peters of Plymouth; another daughter, Donna Holbrook of Kingston; a foster daughter, Catherine Devitt of Salem; a brother, John Peters of Florida; a sister, Jean Barcellos of Bridgewater; six grandchildren; and several nephews and nieces. A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the First Church of Squantum. The cemetery service will be private. Visiting hours are from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the church. Donations may be made to The Way Up, North Quincy. Arrangements were made by the Deware Funeral Home of Quincy.
