Peter William Schilling

October 27th 1944 to July 13th 2008

My father lost his battle with cancer this summer of 2008. He was a great man and loving father.
My brother Peter Jr. wrote his obituary...

Peter Schilling let go of the world he loved on Sunday, July 13. He was a wonderful Dad, friend to countless people, a teacher, activist, card player, film lover and avid reader, handyman, and a magician of exquisite talent. He would perform sleight of hand with a simple yet complex grace, tricks that grew in wonder as they progressed, surprising even the most hardened cynic. But Peter was magical in every sense of the word: small gestures of kindness toward everyone, a devout commitment to justice and peace, and an ability to uncover beauty in even the most mundane. Thanks to his passion for life, he leaves this world a better place. He is survived by his sons, Peter Jr. (Janice) and John; by his sisters Mary Schilling and Betsy Osborn (Jack); by his brother Doug (Marcia); and countless relatives and friends.
