Obituary of Gregory Peterson

Gregory Peterson, 54, of Howell passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer on Sunday, August 25, 2019 at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune.  He was born in Passaic, raised in Wood Ridge, and had lived in Parlin before settling in Howell in 1993.  Greg worked for Lucent and AT&T in Holmdel prior to becoming a director for Comcast in Moorestown. He was a parishioner of the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Farmingdale and was the founder of Strikes Against Sarcoma.  Greg enjoyed fly fishing and wood working.  He could fix anything around the house, took pride in his vinyl collection but most all cherished the time spent with his wife and two sons.
