Condolences to the family and friends of former Carrboro Alderman George William “Pete” Beswick, who passed away in Morehead City on Sunday at the age of 73.

Born in 1941 in Rhode Island, Pete Beswick moved to Chapel Hill after serving a tour of duty in Vietnam. He earned his bachelor’s and law degrees from UNC and went on to a long legal career in Greensboro and Morehead City – but before leaving the area, he served two years as a Carrboro Alderman in the mid-1970s.

Pete is survived by his wife Beth and his son Michael.

There will be a memorial service on Friday, November 21, at 2:00 at St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal Church on Highway 58 in Salter Path.
