I was saddened to learn of Peter's passing. I had known Peter since at least 1958. At that time, my parents had moved to Sprucelea Drive in Oakville and became acquainted with Peter and his family, and a group of neighbourhood people who with Peter formed a life-long bond. Accordingly, Peter has been a long-time family friend. He served my parents using his financial skills with honour and integrity. His effervescent personality filled a room and our hearts. Something is missing from a world without Peter in it.

Let me take the opportunity to send my condolences to Peter's family, and to others whose lives he touched.
