Obituary for Peter Howard Lawler
Peter Howard Lawler, age 64, of Stratford passed away Sunday, June 30, 2019 in Bridgeport Hospital surrounded by his devoted children. Peter was born in Bridgeport, son of the late Howard and Geraldine (Wing) Lawler and had been a lifelong area resident.

He had a witty sense of humor, enjoyed ‘70s music and dancing, and loved a good meal down by the Stratford Sea Wall. He enjoyed playing golf and was an avid NY Yankees and Giants fan and on sunny days relished the opportunity to drive around in his convertible.
Survivors include his three children, Erin Willis and her husband Timothy, Courtney Lawler and her wife Christina, and Stephen Lawler and his fiancé Rose; three siblings, Mark Conway, Lois Francis, and David Lawler and several nieces and nephews; and his dear friend Eileen Lawler.
