TILTON — Peter Matthew Hoey, 66, of Noyes Road, passed away at his home on Feb. 2, 2025.
Peter was born on Sept. 2, 1958, in Laconia, the son of Raymond and Elizabeth (Fogg) Hoey.
He was a master machinist at various shops and was very talented, although he was always very humble. When difficult and technical jobs arose, it automatically became a “Pete job.” In 2001 he founded Hoey Machine Company, where he worked endless hours to accommodate all of his customers, whom he appreciated, until his retirement in 2020, somehow balancing attending all of his girls’ sports games, which he enjoyed.
He treated his daughters' friends as if they were his own and had the best sense of humor, always finding a way to make people smile. After losing his youngest daughter, and after his retirement, his grandsons became his life, and until his recent illness, he enjoyed being at the field and courts watching them in their sporting events. He never wanted to miss a game, traveling as far as South Carolina and beyond, regardless of how he felt, always cheering on the sidelines for the teams.
Peter is survived by his loving wife and best friend of 43 years, Laurie L. (Maguire) Hoey; daughter Sarah A. Hoey; grandchildren Carter M. Lloyd and Kobe L. Lloyd, and their father, Earnest L. Lloyd; brother Larry Hoey and his partner, Brenda Terrio, and William Hoey; and sister Ann Dutile and her husband Peter; many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Peter is predeceased by his beloved daughter Margaret “Meg” Hoey, sisters Jane Kidder and Kathleen Lavoie, and brother Richard Hoey.
A calling hour will be held from 9 to 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 10, 2025, at St. Andre Bessette Parish-Sacred Heart Church, 291 Union Ave., Laconia.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. at the church.
Burial will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 9, at Union Cemetery, Academy Street, Laconia.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Peter’s name to the Winnisquam High School Baseball Program, c/o Fred Caruso, 435 Bean Hill Road, Northfield, NH 03276.
Pete cherished the support, kindness and love he received from both the Winnisquam and Laconia families, friends and neighbors over the last few years.
