Peter M. Ansbro Sr.

September 20, 1938 - October 17, 2021

Peter M. Ansbro Beloved husband of Elizabeth for 58 years. Loving father of Peter (Mary), Kathleen, Jennifer (Jeff), and Megan (Vince). Cherished grandfather of Sarah, Nathan, Evan, Marley, Colton, Ivie and Sophia. Peter was an Irishman through and through with a great smile and laugh. He was a fan of all sports, becoming a Detroit sports Team fan when the family moved to Michigan in 1971. In his younger years he loved playing basketball, and greatly enjoyed playing golf throughout his lifetime. He also enjoyed the outdoors including camping, boating and fishing. When the family was younger, they made many trips back East to visit extended family in Pennsylvania. They also took several camping trips throughout the United States where Peter coached his kids to set up a pop-up camper in record time. Peter held two Master’s degrees; one from New York University in engineering, and another from Michigan State University in business. He worked for Ford Motor Company for over 20 years, as well as several automotive suppliers. Throughout his years in the automotive industry, he helped develop many of the conveniences we enjoy in vehicles today, like keyless entry fobs and garage door opener controls. A memorial visitation for Peter will be held on Saturday, November 6, 2021, from 1:00 pm until time of service at 2:00. Those wishing to offer a tribute are encouraged to consider the Alzheimer’s Association. And the next time you hear an Irish tune, think of Pete and raise a glass.
