Peter Englisch Obituary
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Peter John Englisch at Royal Inland Hospital on April 24, 2021 at the age of 73.
Peter was born in Hythe, Alberta, the only child of Paul and Paula Englisch and was raised in Tomslake, BC. After high school graduation he attained employment with Canada Post in Dawson Creek as a letter carrier. He met his wife Dianne while delivering mail to the local R.C.M.P. Detachment. They were married in 1971 and the following year became parents to a son Jason. Peter transferred to Penticton in 1994, residing in Summerland and retired from Canada Post in 2002 after 36 years of service. They then moved to Kamloops where he started a small lawn/yard care business and closed it in 2019.
He really enjoyed playing soccer, hockey and broomball in the Dawson Creek area. When they moved to Kamloops he joined a senior recreational hockey league. As many know, Peter was an avid Detroit Red Wing fan since 1954 and also cheered for the Minnesota Viking Football team.
For a number of years Peter and Dianne enjoyed many senior bus trips to various points in the United States and met some wonderful people and cherished those memories. They were looking forward to celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at the end of May.
Dianne and Jason would like to thank the ambulance attendants and the medical staff at the Royal Inland Hospital for the exceptional care given to Peter. They would also like to thank the wonderful neighbours and friends who have offered their support and assistance.
There will be no formal service by request.
