WOLLNER, Peter R. "Pete" December 30, 1926 - July 19, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Pete, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, of Victoria, BC, after a courageous battle with cancer.

He will be fondly remembered by his Special Friend Margaret, daughter Joanne (David), grandsons Pat (Colleen), Darin (Joanna), and great grandchildren Benjamin & Lalena, sisters Florence, Frances, Freda and sisters-in-law Josie and Josephine, many nieces and nephews and friends. Pete had many careers over the years- barber, bulk fuel agent, farmer, crop insurance adjuster, was asked to manage the Crop Insurance Dept. in Regina until retirement. When asked what he was able to fix, his response was "Yes!", explaining that he was able to fix anything he attempted. Pete was an avid baseball fan and spent many years umping local baseball. He was an excellent Duplicate Bridge player reaching status of Gold Lifemaster. Other hobbies included water skiing and bowling. He was a Third Degree Knight. We would like to thank the staff and residents of 'The Wellesley' of Victoria for all the kindness shown to Pete over the years.
