With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Peter Lembo, a devoted and hardworking husband, father, brother, and friend, who passed away on August 22nd, 2026, at the age of 75. Peter was born on April 18th, 1951, to Peter and Virginia Lembo and raised in Fairlawn, New Jersey.

From an early age, Peter took great pride in his work, building a career in retail management and later as a property manager with Simon Property Group. He built a life around his family, hard work, and a desire to learn and try new things. Beyond his strong work ethic, Peter loved spending time with his family, tackling home projects, being out on his boat, and enjoying the company of good friends.

Peter leaves behind a legacy of dedication, integrity, and deep love for those around him. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Paula Lembo; his daughters, Kerry, Alison, and Elisanne; his stepson, Keith Ogden, and his wife, Amy; and his cherished grandsons, Jack and Christian Soltis, and Al and Travis Ogden.

Although not the oldest, Peter was truly “the big brother” in his family. He is survived by his seven siblings: Luann Burgess; Virginia and Porter Connerly; Christopher and Kate Lembo; Raymond Lembo; Margaret Lembo; George and Aileen Lembo; and Valerie and Rich Bello. He also leaves behind many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members and friends who were fortunate to know him. Peter was a pillar of strength and a constant source of love and support.

We will forever cherish our memories of this incredible man and find comfort in knowing he will always be watching over us. We can all remember Peter by living the way he would: a steady presence, a sturdy leader, and with devotion and unconditional love. And, of course, by remembering to “keep it under 90 in the turns.”
