Peter T. Reeves of Needham, Mass., passed away on November 8 due to complications from Parkinson’s Disease. He was 74. Born in Chicago to Robert E. and Pamela (Wilson) Reeves, Peter grew up in Cleveland. He attended Oberlin College, where he met the love of his life, Judy. After graduating in 1971, they moved to Rochester, NY, where Peter took a job as a computer programmer with Genesee Computing, while Judy pursued graduate studies. They married in 1973 and in 1975 moved to Needham, where they raised three sons and lived until the present. Peter worked in the software industry throughout his career, designing solutions and managing development teams. He loved music, playing clarinet and saxophone, singing in his congregation’s choir and Needham Interfaith Choir, and passing along his love of music to his children. He also enjoyed being outdoors, particularly canoeing and hiking in Acadia National Park, but most of all he loved being with his family. Peter is survived by his wife Judy Belgrade; sons Ari (Shira Reeves) of Silver Spring, MD, Evan (Christina Moraes) of Oakland, CA, and Daniel (Rebecca Byard) of Watertown, MA; six grandchildren; sisters Betsy (Diana Kuderna) and Margaret (Ray Santiago), both of CA; and three nieces. The funeral will take place graveside at Sharon Memorial Park, 40 Dedham St., Sharon, MA on Friday, November 10, 2023, at 9:45 am. In lieu of flowers, we invite donations in Peter’s memory to the Parkinson’s Foundation.
