March 13, 1952 �" April 26, 2010
Peter Dowling passed away peacefully at home in Hayward on Monday, April 26. His housemates and friends Mac and John were at his bedside comforting him as he took his last breaths. Recently, Peter had been bravely going through radiation and chemo treatments in hopes of slowing down the Stage Four lung cancer that took his life much too early at age 58. We thank the Kaiser medical staff, Vitas Hospice program, and Santos-Robinson Mortuary for their greatly appreciated assistance.
Peter will be very much missed by a host of friends, neighbors, and fellow workers at Level III in San Jose, where Peter was a highly valued worker for 15 years. He had a wonderful gift for making acquaintance with a wide range of people and showing the love and kindness in his heart by doing many things for others. At home on 4th Street, with boundless energy, he kept the garden blooming and the garage in remarkable order �" his special domain and the site of many a fine party with friends.
A celebration of his life will be held on Sunday, May 23, 3 p.m., at the Turf Club, 22519 Main St., Hayward.
