I didn't know Peter a long time but he always greeted me with a big smile. He loved to tell of adventures growing up in a big family in PEI. He loved to describe the landscape and the weather back home. He was kind and generous. Once he heard my car making an awful noice when I was starting it - he insisted on checking the oil - when he saw it was low he jumped in his truck and returned a short time later with oil to fill it. I am so shocked and sad - he will be missed.

We met Pete over 30 years ago, although we lost contact as life changes, we always enjoyed his honesty and sincerity. May he be at peace. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman

Rest easy old friend.

Chris, Pat, Chelsea and Marcella, and to Peter's siblings, there are very few words one can say that make any sense at a time of family loss but please know I am thinking about you. May you rest in peace Peter. May the comfort and support of family and friends be there for Peter's brothers and sisters in the many sad days ahead. Hugs to you Chris and Pat
