• OBITUARY

  Peter Frederick Rosen, 75, of Atlanta, GA passed away peacefully at home on July 11, 2022
  after a valiant 2 year battle with advanced lung cancer. Peter was the youngest son born to
  Vera and Eli Rosen in Brooklyn, NY and was raised in Valley Stream, NY. He was elected class
  VP at Valley Stream South High School where he excelled in basketball, football and baseball.
  He graduated from Cornell University Industrial and Labor Relations School and went on to
  receive his JD from St. John’s University School of Law.

  After passing the New York Bar and beginning his law career at the Screen Actors Guild, he
  and his wife Phyllis (Bernstein), to whom he was introduced through a friend while in college
  and married upon graduation, decided to leave the hot and crowded subway lifestyle of New
  York City and take a chance on Atlanta, GA. They arrived in Atlanta in 1973 and after passing
  the Georgia Bar, Peter began working at the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity
  Commission).

  Despite the hard work to earn his degree and credentials, Peter decided to make a career shift
  and kicked off what would become a 46-year career in Human Resources where he would
  advise, train, and touch many lives. His HR career began at the Coca-Cola Company where he
  spent 12 years as the HR Manager for Europe and Africa. His career continued with
  SmithKline Beecham Clinical Laboratories, Norrell Corporation, Alexander and Alexander,
  Capital One Financial Services and TeamStaff. He then went on to establish his own strategic
  HR consulting firm, Human Resource Strategies and Solutions (HRSAS), where he spent the
  last 22 years.

  Although he impacted many lives through his work, it was his ability to connect and relate to
  people that brought so much joy to every aspect of his life and the lives of others. One of the
  most notable ways was through sports as Peter was an exceptional all-around athlete. He
  had a passion for basketball that carried well beyond his school years and he became an avid
  runner who participated in many Peachtree Road Races since the 1970’s. Peter then took up
  bowling and found his true passion, golf, later in life - even playing a full 18 holes months
  before his passing. A loyal friend, yet a competitor at the same time, Peter made some of his
  deepest connections through sports.

  Those who knew him well will remember Peter for his sharp style of dress, his keen attention to
  the upkeep of his yard and his love of the latest technology. Even those he briefly encountered
  could immediately sense his deep kindness, empathy and thoughtfulness. Everyone he
  touched will remember him as a lover of people and a connector. He was a mentor and
  advisor to many over the years. Peter was also a fierce supporter of his daughters and
  absolutely loved his family. He was truly one of a kind.

  Peter is survived by Phyllis, his wife of 53 years, daughters Sarah Shah (Tapan) and Elissa
  Rosen, and granddaughters Norah and Sidney. A doting “girl dad” he took such pride in all his
  girls. He is also survived by his brother Jon Rosen (Patricia), niece Hope Rosen, great nephew
  Zachary, nephew Jason Rosen, brother-in-law Stuart Bernstein (Emma Fessler), niece Anna
  Claire Bernstein, nephew Jonathan Bernstein as well as many cousins, aunts and an uncle.
