On June 17, 2021, Peter passed away peacefully surrounded by the land of Four Peaks, Gunsight Pass and a Fountain in the desert. This final resting place is far from where his life began. He was born to immigrant parents, Adolph and Elizabeth Herguth, on Oct. 17, 1937.
Living the American Dream, they worked hard and saved their money and were able to invest in a business in Dingmanâs Ferry, Pa. He grew up in this small town and Peter loved Dingmans Ferry and its teachings never left him nor the many lifetime friendships he maintained.
After high school, Peter enrolled at Florida Southern College to continue his education and play basketball. It was there that he met Cecyl Lou Hildinger, and his life changed forever. It was love at first sight and they were later married on Sept. 6, 1958, in Williamsville, N.Y. Peter completed his college studies at the University of Scranton and started his career with Huron Cement.
