I am so sorry for your loss. Peter and I went to school together and grew up together on King st. He was an amazing friend and person. I will always cherish our memories from that time.
My prayers will be with you and your girls.

My deepest condolences to all of Peter’s family and friends.
I had the great pleasure of working with Peter for 20+ years. He loved working with the team at Xerox and HCL. Peter was always helpful, kind, and was extremely knowledgeable about his work. I learned a lot from Peter: his work ethic; his attitude in the face adversity. Peter will be missed
My deepest condolences to all of Peter’s family and friends.
I met Peter at work where we worked in the same organization for a long while. I have the utmost respect for him. He was a very gentle person. A real pleasure to talk and work with him. He was very brave. He took the health challenges face on and kept as positive attitude as anybody could.
He had a very strong work ethic. Took a great sense of pride in the quality of this work. I always kept the hope that I would see him back at work and in one of the food rodeos at the Public Market. I know he loved those. The best compliment I can give him is that he reminded me a lot of my dad. I will miss him.
