Peter T. Morse

In loving memory of Peter Thomas Morse, 79, of East Hampton, CT.  Born March 28, 1946, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on January 1, 2026.  Peter graduated from Glastonbury High School and became a member of the National Guard Band.  He was employed by Canteen Corporation for many years. Following retirement, he pursued his passion to become a certified chaplain and served at UConn John Dempsey Hospital and many local nursing homes.  

Peter cherished his family and faithfully ministered the love of Jesus.  His passion was serving as an elder at his church, The Worship Center, in Hebron.  He enjoyed sharing his jokes, vacationing at his family home on Little Cranberry Island, Maine, and playing many instruments.  He was a car enthusiast, a talented photographer, and he also created his own woodworking business.

He is survived by his wife, Diana, of 58 years, his 4 children and their spouses, Paul (Amy) Morse, Jill (Neil) Swenson, Sarah (Mike) Osborne, and Steven Morse.  His legacy lives on through his many grandchildren, Abbey, Patrick, Lauren, Patrick, Irene, Peter, Isaac, Gwen, Elodie, and Teddy and his great grandson, Rodney.  He is also survived by his siblings Anne, Terry and Tim and was predeceased by his sister Maureen.  

Calling hours are at Spencer Funeral Home on January 16, 2026, from 5 PM to 7 PM.  A Celebration of Life will be held at The Worship Center church in Hebron on January 17, 2026 at 10 AM.
