Manville, NJ – Peter Oram, 86, entered into eternal life on Sunday, November 29, 2015 at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital-Somerset with his loving family by his side. Born in Larksville, PA to Joseph and Eva (Pehosh) Oram, his family moved to Croatia in 1932 at age 3 ½ before returning to the United States in 1970.

Peter was a parishioner of Christ the Redeemer Parish, (Sacred Heart Church) in Manville. After returning to the United States, Peter worked as a cook for both Aramack Food service and Macke Food Service from which he retired. He enjoyed a variety of hobbies such as wood working, gardening and making wine. Ultimately, at the end of the day, he loved spending time with his adored grandchildren.
