Not sure what to say?

My mother and I will miss Peter as he always looked after our accounting and taxes in such a professional and caring manner. We looked forward to our annual visits as he was such a pleasant and warm person -- always interested in others. His attention to detail, knowledge and skills were most appreciated.

He liked to discuss worldly issues and the conversations were most enjoyable as he was very interesting and inquisitive. We first met him in 1983 and it was such a pleasure to...

We have fond memories of Peter since getting to know him on a course in 1987. A group of us continued to meet monthly since that time and we could always rely on you, Peter, to keep meticulous notes. You had an unfailing sense of humour through the good times and bad times. Farewell old friend.

Peter, You were the minute taker of our Power of 12 group. At our monthly meetings you provided the somewhat sardonic humour and reported on the achievement, or not, of our monthly goals. The legacy of raspberries, ice cream and sloe gin will continue to be consumed every July. Bye Peter from Colin, Lynda, Leanne, Sandy and Steve.

I remember the great Sunday brunches at your apartment in Vancouver, in the 80's. I remember your terrific sense of humour and your dry way of looking at the idiosyncracies of humanity. I remember all the hours we spent discussing the world and putting it to rights. Thank you for all those times.You will stay in my memory forever, Peter.

I have known Peter since 1968,
even though I haven't kept in touch, it is sad news of his passing. I know he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

I'll always remember Peter's warm smile and wry chuckle. Always a pleasure to be around. Will miss you Peter.

Although Bruce kept me updated on Peter's deteriorating health - thank-you, Bruce, and for all you did - Peter's death seemed so untimely, chaotic, so "wait a minute..."

Peter will live in my memories of the glory days of our youth of the '70's. Whether in residence at the Collier's, or in his beautiful Barclay St. apartment, he settled in a comfortable corner Lazyboy, stack of Vancouver sun's at his side, after-work rum-and-coke in hand. He had a great laugh and was always quiet...

Peter, cheers to those moments we shared, in these days of great future we shall not forget times spent with you...
