Letter: DeTerra Cares

March 16, 2022 by Staff Writer

DeTerra Cares About Town

I have had the privilege of knowing Peter DeTerra for many years. I met him when he was dating his wife, who was an employee of our childcare business at that time. I remember him as a polite, respectable young man who always wore a smile. As the years passed, Peter did some work for our family and our business. It began with plowing for us and as his business grew, his services expanded to meet our business needs. He is honest, fair and trustworthy.  

I also had the opportunity to know Peter as a dad as his children attended our childcare facility. His children adored and respected him and he always took time to talk to the other children when he came at the end of the day to pick them up. I couldn’t help but be impressed with his warm, friendly demeanor toward all the children. 

Peter has always had and continues to have a positive relationship with the members of our family and if we ever need him, he will come with short notice. Peter has served our town for many years. I believe he cares about the town and more importantly, the people who live here. He is committed to his responsi­bilities and expects everyone else to share that commitment. It has been a pleasure to know him. 

Joyce de Sousa, Fairhaven
