Sorry to hear of Pete’s passing. I haven’t seen Pete in many years but often think of him. Quite often he dropped in for a visit at my workplace across from his family’s home. We had some wonderful chats and always lots of laughs together. On special days he brought his Dad along for a visit. Always a great day when Pete stopped by!
Bill Cowtan says
I was saddened to hear about Peter’s passing. Pete worked for me from time to time at my factory across the highway from his family’s home. He also helped me with the building of my new home outside of Tottenham, back in 1989.
We had a lot of fun when Pete would visit, he was never short of laughter with his timely wit.
I lost touch with him over the years, but I will never forget him.
God Bless you, Peter

Fran and family – my mom sent me this obituary and I want you all to know how grateful I am to have spent so much time with your family and I have so many good memories. I remember Mary Lee and I going to Centre Island with Peter and Mary Lee and I walked for fundraisers for Daybreak. Beautiful picture of Peter. Peace to everyone.
Mary and George Milner says
We were very sad to hear of Peter’s passing and send our sincere condolences to the family and to those closest to him. We enjoyed many visits with Peter and Ron when we had the station in the early 90’s and they would stop in on one of their outings for a little chat and a laugh or two. We always appreciated David’s support of our business at that time as well. Please know we are thinking of your family at this difficult time.
Fran Paret says
Thank you so much. He really loved working the festival, in fact in February he said to me I guess I won’t be doing the Blue Grass. When I said no Peter he said That sucks. I love this picture you sent to Scott.
Love and prayers

Michelle, please accept my sincerest condolences in the loss of your Peter. I am an old family friend who shared many conversations with Peter when he would walk into town and drop by my parents home on the Main Street of Schomberg. Peter was always happy, and he loved to chat about the day. I send my heartfelt love to you today, and I pray you will find solace in knowing the love and support of family and community.
Sincerely, Charmaine Wall

It is with a heavy heart that I say good bye to Peter. I grew up with Peter; born 5 days apart. Mom babysat Peter for many years and I treasure so many fond memories of our time playing together. I have learned so much from Peter which did profoundly impacted my career path. I will be forever grateful for the blessing of having known Peter, witnessing his perserverance, loyalty, work ethic, optimism, big smile, and good humour and I will miss the birthday wishes come next February. Peter, until we meet again, may God hold you in the plam of his hand.
