• Notes

  Contra Costa Times (Walnut Creek, CA) December 11, 2007 Peter C. A. Newcomb, Ph.D. Nov. 28, 1929 - Dec. 6, 2007 Former Resident of Pleasanton Peter Newcomb, beloved husband and father, passed away at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, CA, after a sudden, severe heart attack. Born in Detroit, MI, Peter moved at a young age to Montreal, Canada where he later met and married Estelle Allaire. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Physics in Montreal. The couple moved to California when Peter was accepted by University of California, Berkeley where Peter earned his Doctorate in Physics. Peter's 30-year career in Physics began at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore. His work there included the design and fielding of energetic experiments and work at the Nevada Test Site. His more recent endeavors at LLNL concerned problems in International Security. Although Peter retired in 1993, he continued to consult in these fields of his expertise. Retirement brought Peter the opportunity to spend more time with his Estelle. The couple enjoyed taking many trailer trips throughout California. Also Peter was a member Sons in Retirement Branch 121 and met regularly with fellow retirees over coffee. Ever the providing father, Peter, in concert with Estelle, lovingly cared for his dear son, Steve, throughout the ravages of brain cancer. Sadly, they lost their son in April, 2005. In June 2007 Peter and Estelle sold their longtime Pleasanton home and moved to the cooler climate of Los Altos. Their lovely new home brought many challenges and subsequent victories to him. He looked forward to settling in to this new community. Peter's parish of St. Augustine's Church in Pleasanton, was of particular solace to him. After relocating to Los Altos, he was pleasantly surprised to find a welcoming parish, St. Nicholas Church, headed by Father Larry Percell. Peter eagerly anticipated the Sunday services conducted by Father Larry both in the celebration of the mass and the Father's thoughtful insights given in his homilies. Survived by his loving wife, Estelle; two adoring daughters, Lucie and Caroline, and many family members and friends
