Pawtucket – Peter J. McManus, 71, passed away at his home on Sunday, January 1, 2023. Born in Woonsocket, he was the late son of the late James Francis (U.S. Army veteran, WWII) and Angelina E. (Lucchesi) McManus.
Peter is a United States Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War and went on to a career with the Fraternal Order of Police for many years until his retirement. He was a longtime member and past commander of the American Legion. Peter was also a member of the Police Athletic League (PAL), and he coached youth soccer for many years. In his youth, Peter served as an altar boy at the former Sacred Heart Parish in Pawtucket, and he enjoyed collecting stamps, coins, and historic paper currency.
Above all, Peter was devoted to his family and friends. He was generous, almost to a fault, and would go out of his way to help a family member or friend who needed anything. His memory will be cherished for generations to come, and he will be lovingly remembered by all whose lives he has touched over the past...
