Peter Atkinson

We always enjoyed Peter's visits out West on his Concert/Stentor tours. Condolences to his family.

Dianne and Graham,

Sadness, shock and dismay are the only words I can use to describe my feelings on hearing the news about Peter. I felt he was on the road to recovery. However, life can change at any time. I will miss Peter as a friend and co-worker who I first met in Riyadh in 1987 and who came back to work with us in Saudi Telecom again several years later. Peter was a true gentleman and his soft-spoken ways and technical capability will always be remembered.

Peter,...

Dear Peter,

Thanks so much for the survivor skills you shared during our time together on the Concert program in Stentor. The art of turning problems into opportunities, getting past “no”, leading from behind, the proper way to wear a Teflon suit, the value of keeping a Plan B in your back pocket, how to tell people where to go so they looked forward to the trip and how to see the bright side of even the most dismal situations we so often found ourselves in… I’m sure you’ll be...

Although we did not know Peter - we know his son Graham very well. He is one of the best guys around and we were very sad when we heard that his father had passed away.

Our condolences to Graham and his family.

When I think of Pete.... I smile!
As I always will.
Truly an amazing guy.
Forever in our hearts.
Carol, Dan & Arielle

Dear Dianne,
We were shocked upon receiving news of Peter's death. He was very much on our minds in the recent times especially, since we were reading Lance Armstrng's autobiography and his battle with cancer.

I admired Peter very much for many things such as his professional strength, practical approach and calm/gentle personality, to name a few. I will forever cherish the early morning chats we had during his days at Saudi Telecom. Peter will be certainly missed BUT...

I had tears in my eyes when I got the news that Peter had passed away...he was truly one of the Good Guys. He was a terrific friend during the years we worked together in the Magic Kingdom. Rest in peace...

Peter will forever live on in our thoughts and memories. His mischievious smile and sharp wit wil never fade. Pete, i think Stephen Ames won the TPC for you and for Canada. Funny, i do not even regret the Goose coming second to a Canadian this time....

I will always remember Uncle Pete as the bright spirit he was. Always with a smile and gentle heart, Peter’s light will shine on. My condolences to Auntie Diane and Cousin Graham, I wish I were there in person to give you both a hug and offer a helping hand. Much love.
