Obituary for Peter James Angus
Peter James Angus, 51, of Plymouth, MA, died surrounded in love by his family from complications of
liver disease on March 8, 2020. Beloved partner of Lee Blair Wright and adoring father of Nathanial and
Nicholas, stepfather to Savannah and Noah Wright.
Born to Paul and Harriet (Menides) Angus in Newton, MA, he was raised in a large and loving family with
6 other siblings in Wellesley, MA, served as an altar boy at St. Demetrius and became an Eagle Scout. He
graduated Wellesley High School in 1987. He proudly joined the Army National Guard, excelled as a
Ranger, one of his greatest accomplishments, and later pursued a Bachelors of Economics from
Bridgewater State University. He began his career at Kodak, but spent the bulk of his career building the
529 College Savings industry from the ground up, as a leader from the beginning, both in multiple roles
at Upromise Investments, and later as Executive Vice President at Intuition College Savings in
Jacksonville, FL.
He is preceded in death by his dear parents and his eldest brother John, to whom he was
unconditionally devoted. He is survived by his many sisters; Wendy Angus and spouse Kelli Kirshtein of
Maynard, MA, and their children Benjamin and Daniel, Elisabeth Angus and partner, Rebecca Johnson of
Watertown, MA, Penny Templeton of Plymouth, NH and her children, Heather Angus of Lynn, MA and
brother Paul Angus of Sweden. He was beloved by many cousins, including Sandy Kakes, John & George
Curuby, and Georgia & John Menides, all of whom he kept close to his heart.
Peter created masterful gardens, excelled at eating Wellfleet oysters, was a true and passionate Boston
sports fan, and was happiest with his toes deep in the sand and taking his dogs for a walk -- he never
lived more than 3 miles from the beach for his entire adult life -- He adored being a dad above all else,
and his generous spirit and compassion were legendary.
Visiting hours will be held at Bartlett Funeral Home, 338 Court Street, Plymouth, MA on Friday, March
13, 2020 from 4-7 pm. Donations to the American Liver Association in lieu of flowers. Further services
will be announced at a later date.
