Peter passed away on October 9, 2019 after a year long struggle with cancer. He is survived by his devoted wife Linda. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughters Melissa and Bethany, his son-in-law John, his daughter-in law Tabia, his two grandsons Jack and Ben, and his granddaughter Sofia. Other family members include his loving niece Tracee Page, her husband Wayne and their two children Amelia and Dylan. He is also survived by his sister Marie Strawser and her husband T.A.. Peter was a Navy Veteran and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. He worked as a chef for the Hilton Hotel corporation before earning his teacher certification and becoming a culinary arts instructor for the BOCES Vocational School in New York. After retiring to Vero Beach, Peter became a culinary arts instructor at Indian River State College and the Martin County Jail. His impact was felt by many and he will be missed beyond measure.
Do not stand at a grave and weep,
I am not here, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grains,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain,
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circles flight,
I am the soft star that shines at night,
So if you wish to remember me,
Do it with a kind word or deed,
To someone of a greater need.
Do not stand by a grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die…

He was my Chef at BOCES for almost four years. He was strict and gentle. He was always making all of us laugh. I have pictures with him in class with our various competitions. I have everlasting memories, I remember us making the “word’s largest chili” At Peekskill Riverfront, wedding cakes, gingerbread houses etc. Back then when Chef would talk to me about life I didn’t realize until I got older, he wanted the best for me. I truly appreciate Chef’s lessons and inspiration. He will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Chef Stubblefield
