Peter D. Schwiebert, 53, of Glendale, Arizona, passed away December 17, 2004. Peter was born in Toledo, Ohio May 2, 1951 and moved to Arizona in 1958. A lifelong student, he earned Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Arizona State University and a Masters Degrees from University of Arizona. He began his nearly 30-year career at Greenway High School in Phoenix in 1977. As a teacher, and later as a guidance counselor, Peter brought thoughtful advice and playful, gentle humor to his classroom, always striving to instill a strong sense of confidence and self-worth in every student. As the advisor for Greenway’s vocational business club, DECA, he built a program of superior quality that served as a model for DECA programs nationwide. Peter was a loving and tender husband, who unfailingly gave his support and kindness in times of both great joy and great struggle. He was a devoted father, donating his time and talents to coaching soccer and baseball teams, building a local community theater, and providing unconditional love and guidance to his children and grandchildren, to whom he will forever be remembered lovingly as “Bumpa.” Peter touched countless lives with his years of dedication to his students, community, and family and he will be terribly missed by all who knew him. Peter is survived by his wife, Janet; father, Walter of Sun City and his wife Peggy; brother John of Stanton, California and his wife Laurie; brother Tom of Osceola, Wisconsin and his wife Lynn; son Ehren of Los Angeles and his wife Caroline; son Andy of Berkeley, California; son Chris Fusselman of Phoenix and his wife Jennifer; daughter Michelle Donahue of Peoria and her husband Danny; and grandchildren Luke, Kaylee, Mayah, Cody, and Alexis.
