It is with great sadness that we share that Glenwood Water District Commissioner Peter A. Hesse passed away on Feb. 3, 2025.
Peter has been Commissioner with Glenwood Water District since 1969. Living right next door to the water district, a neighbor asked him if he was interested in becoming a commissioner … Peter garnered the required signatures and served ever since. During that time, he was a wealth of knowledge for all – knowing about any main breaks, water services, valves, hydrant issues and much more. He helped everyone and was loved by all.
Throughout his career, Peter worked at LILCO, working his way up the ranks to a managerial position and retiring approximately 20+ years ago. Peter also worked as the Village Clerk at The Village of Sea Cliff for approximately six years. He was also an Honorary Member of The Glenwood Fire Department.
Peter passed away a day shy of his 83rd birthday. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen, their three daughters Robin, Barbara and Tarra, three grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
