Peter T. Grap, 81, of Zebulon, NC died Wednesday February 26th, 2025. Peter was born January 14th, 1944 in Bound Brook, NJ to Pete and Angie Grap.
Pete arrived in North Carolina during the fall of 1994 via a 20 year stay in Southern California. He and his wife Grace immediately found a home on Bunn Lake. Pete took to lake life and at 50 took up water skiing, quickly moving from two ski’s to a single ski. Dad continued to ski until his health prevented him just a few years ago. But if you needed a pull he was your man. Pete and Grace became fast friends with Glenn and Norma, their next-door neighbors. Skiing, deck and home projects and the occasional “social” became routine. Just about 7 years ago Paul and Maryann Verderber moved in across the street from mom and dad while they waited to build their house. Dad and Paul became immediate friends. One of my last conversations with Dad was what a great friend he had in Paul.
Peter is survived by his wife of 50 years Grace, their children Nanette and husband Michael , George and wife Jan, four grandchildren Dustin, Nicholas, Mitchell and Mathew, four great grandchildren, Brooklynn, Jamie, Kendall and Shepherd, his Brother Carmen and wife Sue and three nephews.
There will be a Celebration of Life for Peter at Social Plains Baptist Church, 639 Hagwood Road, Zebulon, NC 27597 on Saturday March 8, 2025 at 1:00 PM. A fellowship with friends will follow.
