Peter M. Ursu passed away on June 6, 2024, at HCA Florida Trinity Hospital in Trinity, FL. Peter is the beloved husband of Christine Ursu who he shared 61 years of a loving beautiful marriage.

Peter is also loved by his grandchildren Michael Ursu (Maggie Ursu), Stephanie Ursu (preceded in death), Daniel Ursu and great granddaughter Nora-Jean Ursu (born on her gramps birthday December 1,2023).
Peter Ursu was born December 1, 1942, and raised in Troy, Michigan, where he was one of seven siblings. After school he joined the service and married Christine. He was a veteran of the United States Air Force where he was stationed in Cheyenne, WY. Peter went on to become an Air Conditioning contractor where he built his own business and became a successful businessman in the communities he lived both in Michigan and Florida. As he moved into retirement, Peter and Christine moved into Country Place Village in Trinity, Florida where they have resided for the past 20 years. Peter and Christine created many relationships in the community that they both cherish. They also split their time between Florida and Michigan, where they spend their summers on Lake Huron in their cottages in Cheboygan, MI.
Peter will be remembered for being a loving husband and father. Always having answers and solving problems. His charming smile, outgoing personality, and always loving a good party. Spending time in his man cave up north where he organized, fixed and built things for the cottages. Working on his computer and playing some games. Along with his favorite pastime, sipping morning coffee and having conversations with his loved ones and a little bird watching.
Peter will be deeply missed by his family, and in lieu of flowers donations can be made to Tunnel to Towers Foundation (t2t.org) in support of our veterans, as Peter was passionate in supporting our country and those that served.
