Memories from a Don Mills family.
Peter was a best friend, a frequent and welcome guest in both our home and our weekend getaway farm during school years. I sold my first car to him ('66 VW bug) for his first car. We are saddened to learn of his death. Although it has been many years, the wonderful words in this guest book tell a story of a life well lived and a kind person who made a difference. Fondly from the Elliott's, W.Peter (Kingston), Brian (Leaskdale) and Mrs.Bettyann (Kingston)

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Word travels fast. I wish I didnt understand the sorrow that you're feeling and I could be there to help you through this unfortunate time. If there is ever anything that I can do for you, please dont hesitate to ask. The two of you had a wonderful life together. More than most people ever will or could hope for. I am one of the fortunate people who got to know the both of you well. And I am richer for it. I'll have my mother say hello to him for the both of us as I am sure he is in a better place than this.
