Brian W. Peters, 66, of Lancaster, PA passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at Lancaster General Hospital on Sunday May 2, 2010. He was born in Watts Township, Perry County to the late Stanley and Grace (Louden) Peters.

Brian is survived by his loving wife, Dale (Lippincott) Peters. On December 20, 2009 they celebrated their 40^th wedding anniversary.

Brian was a math teacher for thirty-three years. He taught 7^th and 8^th grade math at Centerville and Landisville Middle Schools in Hempfield School District until his retirement.

Brian graduated from Lycoming College in 1966 and
also earned his Master's Equivalency.

He was a junior high wrestling coach, as well as a high school track and field coach for Hempfield School District.

Brian golfed frequently and operated a part-time painting business in his early years.  In his presence, no Rubik's Cube or puzzle ever went unsolved.  He enjoyed walking and hiking with his family and friends, especially at Long's Park, the Good Drive Trails, and while vacationing.  Brian always looked forward to traveling to visit his children and grandchildren.  One of his greatest joys in life was having his grandchildren crawl onto his lap to spend time with their beloved PopPop.

Surviving in addition to his wife, Dale, are their three children, two sons, James (J.B.) Peters, of Broomfield, CO, Gregory M. Peters and devoted girlfriend Nicole Thomas, of Lancaster; daughter, Amy L.
