It is with humble and acceptance of God’s that we announce the passing on to glory of
Mr. Peter Sam Mugatha of Silver Spring, Maryland after an illness bravely borne.

Wacu and Sam Mitheko.

His family moved to Nairobi, and he attended St Michael’s Elementary School in Makadara.

He attended Upper Hill High School, Nairobi, Kenya, and after he graduated from high school, he worked as a cashier at the New Stanley
Hotel in Nairobi.

He left his position at New Stanley Hotel in 1974 to pursue further
studies in the USA.

He graduated from Paul Smiths College, New York, with a Culinary
Degree and also achieved a BA in Health Administration from Brockport University in
New York.

He leaves behind a lovely family; his wife Mrs Wambui Mugatha and children, Maurice

He was the beloved son of Elizabeth Wacu and Sam Mitheko.

In addition, he leaves behind a lot of amazing relatives; both in the USA and in his beloved Kenya.
His siblings include Martha, Wanjiku, Wacuka, Kabura, Wanjiru, Kanyi, Maina, Wanderi,
and Kibe and many great friends he deeply touched during his journey of a fruitful and
beautiful life.

Due to the prevailing Covid 19 pandemic, the government has set certain
conditions on funeral arrangements. Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to hold
our usual family and friends fellowship gatherings, but plan to have a celebration of his
life at a later date.

We would appreciate for everyone to attend.

We the family of Mr. Peter Sam Mugatha humbly ask for prayers during this time of bereavement.
