The passing of Peter T. Esty ’55

Class Notes
Class of 1955
Posted on December 9, 2020

Our classmate, Peter Esty, passed away on Nov. 14, 2020, in Andover, MA. Bill Morton relayed the sad news to Mike Grant who reports that Peter and his wife had returned to the East Coast from California “just a few weeks ago to live in a retirement community in Andover, MA. Peter was one of my close buds at Deerfield. I used to spend time with his family in Amherst .. He also lived in Fairfield for a while — An always upbeat guy who came to be a competent educator and leader of secondary schools.” including our own Deerfield Academy. And on a personal note in ‘It’s a small world’ category, in his earlier years Peter lived in my Uncle Tom’s former “cabin” at The Notch at Mount Holyoke Range State Park.
