John PEETS Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 10, 2003.
PEETS, John O. A. March 4, 1904 - April 7, 2003 My fellowships with you were grand, The very finest in the land. So, therefore, do not mourn for me. Instead, content and happy be. - Excerpt from poem by John Peets John's intellect and lively wit, his music, art and writing, and his wealth of stories about early Edmonton are deeply missed by his daughter Marilyn (Mara) Peets Green and son-in-law Harlan Green. "A celebration of the ultimate ecstasy" - as he called it - will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Ray Leppard at Robertson-Wesley United Church (10209 - 123 St.) on Friday, April 11, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. Sincere thanks to the nurses and staff of the Royal Alexandra Hospital and to the Palliative Care Unit of the General Hospital, who treated him with such gentle, loving care. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Cross Cancer Institute, 11560 University Avenue, Edmonton, AB T5G 3A2 or to the charity of your choice.
