Passed away peacefully on March 25, 2007. Predeceased by his son Jamie, Peter is survived by his loving wife Helen, children Cal (Karen), Sharon-Lee (Ken), Todd (Chris) and grandchildren Spencer, Sarah and Heather. Peter also leaves behind his dear sister Jean (Barrie), nieces Cathie, Wendy and nephew John (Brenda) and great nephews Will and Evan.
Peter was born and raised in Victoria. He was a WWII Merchant Navy Veteran joining his first ship at the young age of 14. Peter worked for BCFP for 31 years before enjoying his retirement. Peter enjoyed soaking up the sun and was never happier than when he was on or near the ater. Peter loved to sail, walk the beach and enjoyed frequent visits to Hawaii. An avid gardener, Peter was a friendly, funny guy who was always game for a driving adventure. Peter was also a keen professional wrestling fan. We will always remember Peter (Fergie) for his animated humour. He could always make us laugh by just a wiggle of an ear or eyebrow.
The family would like to thank all of the supportive staff on 6C at Victoria Genearl for their excellent care and loving kindness. Donations can be made to the Parkinson Society or charity of your choice.
Some of my earliest and fondest childhood memories are of time spent at my Uncle Pete and Aunt Helen's house in Victoria. Going out on the water with them in the row-boat, playing on the old WW2 guns (Willy's Guns) in the nearby park, and talking about Hulk Hogan and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper with Uncle Pete when I was very young. Whatever the circumstances, Uncle Pete could always make me laugh. I regret not being able to see Peter or Helen very often over the past ten years, British Columbia seems so far away sometimes. I'll miss you Uncle Pete.
