    Please accept our condolences. Peter was a lovely man and we loved the time we shared with him at Paradise Valley. He was a great storyteller who had great patience and understanding when talking to kids and was a wonderful and respectful person to all. He will be greatly missed.

    Dear Caroline:

    Remembering the day when I first visited with you and Peter on your back deck, when we exchanged our likes & favourites in music, TV.shows, famous personalities, life experiences.
    Because time flies by so quickly, hopefully you will be feeling on a more even keel day by day.
    Sincerely,
    Your friend and neighbour.

    My dear Caroline: Bob and I send our deepest sympathies in the loss of your dear husband, Peter. We remember him fondly directing traffic at “The Promise.” He and Wes were great traffic “cops.” We were fortunate to meet him – we had heard our grandkids talk about the “great skate sharpener.” May God Bless you and your family. Sincerely, Eleanor and Bob Watson – Forest

    Caroline-we were shocked and saddened to hear of Peter’s passing.
    We have wonderful memories of our time together on Alder Court, and Peter looking after the boy’s skates, as they learned to play hockey. Peter was a generous friend and neighbour, always willing to lend a hand, or provide some helpful advice. We will miss him.
    Our thoughts are with you and your family.

    Sincere condolences to you Caroline and Family. I came to know Peter through his skate sharpening business. He was always a great story-teller and always knowledgeable about his craft. My daugthers did not want anyone else but Peter to sharpen their skates. Take care in the days and weeks ahead.

    Caroline, we are saddened to hear of Peter’s passing. He was great with our kids, always sharing tips for tying their skates, theories for the changes on their blade edges and reasons why they should be caring for their own skates. He amazed them with his wisdom and sweetened them up with his candy.
    Take care of yourself in the coming days and know that he will live on in the stories and tips he shared with our children over the years.
