Peter BURGEL

Mr. Burgel taught me grade 6 at Brentwood. I remember he read The Cay aloud to us. It was so impactful. He had high expectations and treated us like full people, not like little kids. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Happy birthday daddy. I miss you so much

Mr. Burgel was my favourite teacher ever! I vividly remember my Grade 6 year with him at Brentwood Elementary oh so many years ago. He was the kind of teacher they make movies about. He really brought the curriculum to life for us. I'm a teacher now myself and marvel at the amount of creativity and work that all he brought to the classroom must have taken. I also particularly enjoyed singing the songs he taught us as he played his guitar. I also remember a reunion our class had at his house during the summer because he'd extended an open invitation to us to visit him and we took him up on it. I remember he was watching a brand new channel - "Much Music" when we arrived. I'm sad to know that Mr. Burgel left this world at such a young age. He made a huge difference in his chosen occupation . . . his impact continues to ripple on in all of us who he taught and who are now making impacts of our own. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope these memories and stories have been a comfort to you.

I have many good memories, Sarah, of spending time with you and your dad when you were small, one particularly at the pizza place with you and Daria. He was very proud of you. I am sorry I can't be with you on Monday to share in your grief. I want you to know our thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

Mr. Burgel was a teacher of mine at Brentwood Elementary many years ago. He was a wonderful teacher and person who I've remembered fondly over the years. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

Dear Sarah, please know how much we loved your Dad and always looked forward to the family events he loved to attend. Peter was not only like a brother, he was my friend. I will dearly miss his great love of the family and so many fun times together.

Dear Sarah, Sean and Michael...very sorry to hear of Peter's death. I know, Sarah and Sean, that he loved you very much. II hope you have some fond memories to help you through this hard time. Peter and I taught together about 25 years ago.
