Peter Kilbreth Bernuth died July 7, 1994 after fighting cancer for a year. He lived in Coral Gables, Florida and was chairman of Bernuth-Lemboke, which imports and distributes wood preservatives and other chemicals from Europe.
A native of Long Island, Peter moved the company to Miami in 1977.
Peter came to Princeton from Hotchkiss School, majored in English with a thesis on the poetry of George Herker and was a member of the swimming and lacrosse teams and belonged to Ivy Club. In the early 1970's he was active in politics, running a congressional campaign for Ed Koch and then the New York office after Koch was elected. In Florida he was on the boards of his sons' schools, St. Stephen's Day School and Palmer Trinity.
The Class of 1963 extends its condolences to his wife, Colleen; three sons, Alex E, Christopher C, and Nicolai Alexander; a sister, Barbara King; two brothers, Patrick and James; and an uncle, Charles M. von Bernuth.

He worked with Ed Koch when the now-famous former mayor of New York was a congressman in the early 1970s, Colleen Bernuth said. "He ran the campaign, and then after (Koch) was elected...
Trivia: Peter Bernuth was the only actor in a student film short by Martin Scorsese called "The Big Shave". Peter is shown shaving repeatedly, eventually turning his face and surrounding area into a bloody mess. Perceived as an antiwar protest, this little film helped launch Scorsese's career. As far as is known, this is the only time Peter persued acting or appeared on film.
