Peter came to live with us in our communal home on Lakeshore Dr, Burlington Ontario. Peter and I would wrestle from time to time and I would take him on jogs with me. Unfortunately he couldn't keep up because of his asthma ,,,loved Humble ...what he was known as in the 70s

Peter was a great sound tech and road manager. He worked for my band George Olliver and Friends for close to 2 years. The whole band even though not together now, will have great memories about this "humble giant". We'll miss Peter much.

Peter and I worked together in the music business back in the mid 70's and he was one of the funniest, kindest men I've ever had the pleasure to have called my friend. I'll miss you, Humble. Your pal, Stubby.

Mr. Hume was my 10th grade history teacher at Schuylerville. He was an incredible, amazing man who touched so many people with his powerful wisdom and gentle spirit, he was just such a great presence. He taught me and some of my close friends a lot of great life lessons and I am proud to be able to say I knew him. We love you Humey, RIP big guy

I was so very saddened to learn of my cousin Peter's passing. I have happy childhood memories of spending fun times with the Hume family at their house in Hamilton, Ontario and at their cottage. I had not seen Peter in years but was kept up to date by the family grapevine. My sincere condolences to Karsi, Sean, Beth & John

Coach Hume was a great teacher/coach and an even better person. He taught me a lot about football and life while I played for him. He will be missed.

I retired three years ago from Schuylerville. I taught 9th grade in the room next to Pete for many years. He was an amazing guy in so many ways. We had many talks about, family, sports, teaching, students and life. I was shock to hear of his passing. We will miss his presence and gentle spirit.

Mr. Hume was my 10th Grade teacher and he and I had our differences but I learned more than just history from him. He taught life lessons. He was a good person and I feel grateful that we crossed paths in life.

Pete was on my list of people to call soon. I have purchased three pianos from him and never knew when he would call to say he had another Steinway for me to "get to know a little bit." I can imagine he was a wonderful teacher, though I didn't know him in that capacity. At first he was a business contact, and then I considered him my friend. I was looking forward to some of those road trips to "audition" another piano. He will be missed by so many. My deepest sympathies go out to all of his family, colleagues, students and friends.

Mr. Hume was a great teacher and terrific person. I saw him a couple months ago in my office building- we took an elevator ride together.....he remembered me and I was laughing....when he said......oh my Jen Monroe.....

Mr. Hume was my 10th grade teacher at Schuylerville High School. At first I was kind of intimidated by him, but I soon realized that his heart was as big as he was. He was the nicest and sweetest man I've ever met. He was still always happy to see me and chat after 10th grade, and after I graduated. Mr. Hume was an amazing teacher and an amazing man, and he will surely be missed.

I had Mr. Hume for social studies in 9th grade in 1992-93. I always laughed at his jokes and he was always ready to chit chat in the halls to see how my life was going, even after he was no longer my teacher. I saw him not too long ago this summer for the first time in years and he was the same old Mr. Hume, so nice and eager to talk and see what I had been up to, laughing at me chasing my kids aroud the store. He was a great person. I am so sorry for your loss.

As many of the people who signed this guest book, Mr. Hume was also my teacher. I had him for social studies in 9th grade at Stillwater. He was such a kind an gentle man, and a great teacher. He always said hello in the halls and flashed a smile a people who passed by. He will be greatly missed.....

R.I.P. Mr. Hume. You were one of the first teachers I had at Schuylerville and remained one of my favorite. You are already GREATLY missed. "You are a powerful and compelling figure in the lives of your students..." WE love you!

I had Mr. Hume as my 10th grade social studies teacher. It was an honor to have him as a teacher. I remember always sitting in his chair when we watched movies and watching him make faces at us while we were taking tests. Once somebody noticed he was doing it, he'd turn right around in his chair, and face his computer like nothing had happened.
There are too many memories this school has of Mr.Hume to list. If the staff and students know me well, they know I'm ALWAYS wandering the halls. Mr.Hume was always friendly in saying, "Hey, kid!" and ask how I was doing, and I know I was not the only person he did this too. He was friendly to everybody.
Schuylerville School will never be the same without him.
"The best man to ever wander the halls."
We miss you Mr.Hume.
Rest in Peace.

We were so saddened to hear about our cousin Peter's passing. Since we moved a lot in the military we hadn't seen him for some years, but we always were aware of how he was doing. The memories shared by his students say so much about what a truly fine man he was. Our thoughts go out to his wife and son.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to you and and your family on Peter's passing. He truly will be missed. He was only in Stillwater a short time, but he taught two of my children and I was honored to know him as a teacher who truly cared about his students and their accomplishments. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless!

I had Mr. Hume as a teacher in 9th grade social studies in Stillwater. Social studies was never a favorite subject of mine, but Mr. Hume was there to get me through it. I was so excited about walking into his classroom on the first day of 9th grade. We already knew what to expect from each other. My father and my brother, Bruce, always talked very highly about him. He was the best teacher and an amazing man. I never forgot his smile and his sense of humor. My family has always loved Mr. Hume. We will never forget him. Our thought and prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathy go out to the entire Hume family. Mr. Hume was my daughter's teacher a few years ago and I had the honor of meeting him, at his request. He cared deeply for his students and pushed them to do the best he knew they could do. He had his own gentle way of doing that and it worked. Every time I saw him in the hall after that, he seemed to remember who I was and always said hello. My son is a student now at SCS and spoke of the time Mr. Hume got in the elevator with him and began jumping up and down saying "isn't this fun". At his size, it made the ride a little scary but he would just laugh. He will be greatly missed and the entire school community shares your loss. God must have a bigger job for him to do. Thank you for sharing him with us all. Deeanne MacDonald

As parent of a Schuyerville student the impression this man has left on these young impressionable children is just amazing. It melts my heart to know the memories and love that has been left with these students by this obviously outstanding man. God bless your family and thank God for all the joy he brought so many people it is just simply unremarkable. Thank you for sharing this wonderful part of your family for so many years to these children.

Pete will be missed so much at Schuylerville. I had the opportunity to say Good Morning, every school day, on my way to my room. Being "Canadian at heart", we shared much and I so appreciated his willing and loving heart. He always had a word of encouragment to give. I miss you Pete!!

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Pete for a few years. We were roommates on HVCC football trips and I have some great memories of our time spent on the football field together (not to mention memories from the van on trips to NC and around the East Coast!) It's been years since I last saw him but I was very shocked and saddened by his loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you both.

Dear Beth and John,
I was visiting your Mom today when she told me me of the news, I was in shock and still find it hard to believe. I'm so deeply saddened for your loss. I'm sorry that I never met his wife Karzi or his son, my condolences to them. Isn't great to know that everyone that had the pleasure of knowing Pete has been affected in a postive way, what a wonderful legacy that is. God Bless you all.

Mr.Hume was a wonderful man and a fantastic teacher. He not only strived to keep his students. To his expectations but to live up to what we expected from him. With an open mind and a great sense of humor he tought his student with the utmost respect. He was always joking and loved to pull pranks on other teachers. Somedays he would stand outside classrooms and taunt the students with signs sayimg how boring their class was. He deeply cared for us. On the third day of school most teachers would say " It's Joe, right?" but as i waited for class Mr.Hume would say " So tell me Joe how is life going for you and do you like 10th grade?" He loved his students and suported them with anythimg they tried. One of his classes tryed to get recyling bins put in every classroom to save paper. He taught us the steps we would need to get it through the schools system and how proud he was that we were trying to make a difference. He showed us how to live life to the fullest. If I could live as wonderful life as Mr. Hume I would die a happy man. All of Schuylerville is coming to his funeral on Friday the Super Intendent is giving all students in the jr. sr. high the day off. You will be missed and loved by your students for years to come. Farewell Mr. Hume.

I had Mr. Hume in my 10th grade history class. In fact, he was the first and only teacher to ever kick me out of class. He did it to teach me a lesson though, and I never talked during a test again. He was a truly amazing individual and with one simple smile, he made my day whenever I saw him in the hallway. Up until my last day of highschool he'd say "hi hon how are you". It is amazing how many people truly loved him and were taught so much by him. He already is and will be greatly missed by so many people. R.I.P Mr Hume, always in our hearts.

"Mr.Hume", Karzi, & Sean,
I am truly sorry about your loss of such a wonderful man! As you know I was a student of his a long time ago, but he was also a friend & neighbor of ours. He helped me with so many situations in the last few years. I am very grateful to have his words of advice he always gave, either when he was riding by the house or whenever he saw me.
We will definately miss him and we want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Love,

My deepest condolences go to Mrs.Hume and family. He was an awesome teacher! Although I never liked to do the homework he assigned, he always made it an interesting learning experience. I'll never forget the trip to Montreal that our class was so lucky to have because HE made it happen. He will be missed.

So very sad.
Coach Hume had a huge impact on me when he coached football at Stillwater. He was by far one of my favorite teachers, and helped to make me into the person I am today. I know the same is true for many of my team and classmates. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.
My deepest condolences to Karzi and the rest of his family. He will be sorely missed

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Pete's family and close friends. I only knew of him through my son who had him as his Social Studies teacher this year. Pete left a distinct impression on him, as I understand he did with everyone he knew. When my son would speak of him (almost daily) you could tell that Pete quickly connected with, and gained the respect of, all his students. Although I never met Pete, I feel a personal loss over his passing. My prayers go out to his family and all who knew him. May God bless you and comfort you all in this time of mourning.
