Peter Leon Gemme

RUTLAND – Peter Leon Gemme, 35, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 13, 2019.

Peter was born at Hahnemann Hospital in Worcester and owned and operated P. L. Gemme Exteriors. Although he loved games and the outdoors, he was the happiest when with his loving wife, Erika and his family. He and his wife were soul mates sharing kindred hearts as well as the same interests – kayaking, golfing, camping trips and anything pertaining to outdoor activities as they loved being together in nature. Peter’s words were few, but his intentions sincere. His kind, gentle and loving spirit was contagious, as was his bright smile. He was selfless and always helping others, and as many would say, “he was a real good man".

Peter, a long time resident of Rutland, leaves behind his loving and dedicated wife, Erika Gemme; his mother and father, Marianne and Edward Gemme; his brother, Andrew Gemme; his sister, Tanya Lamothe and her husband, James Lamothe; his nephew, Austin Gemme; and his godson, Cameron Lamothe; his nieces, Cheyanne Bishop, Haven Bishop and Kaitlyn Lamothe; his parents-in-law, Ralph and Anne Oliveri; his brothers-in-law, Aaron and Evan Oliveri; his aunts, uncles, and many cousins and friends. He is predeceased by his nephew, Noah Lamothe, and his grandparents, Yvette Gemme Brodeur, Leon Gemme and Gertrude Birtz Osuch.
