Hi Randy and Frank.
I lived beside Peter for many of our young years and we shared alot of time together. Cameron Street School (of the past) was our daily trip for the first 4 years of our school careers. We shared many hours in both our homes playing with train sets. It is quite ironic that I remember in detail the day his mom was killed in a car accident on Lansdown Street in 1963. I lost track of Peter at the end of high school when I joined the OPP and he continued on with his education. It is really nice to read the posted notes about his past. He was a great guy.

Peter and I worked together in various capacities for 25 years and were even roommates for part of that time. He was a thoughtful, respectful, highly intelligent, and was always on the lookout for new ideas he thought would benefit humanity. He will be missed as both a colleague and a friend.

I knew Peter years ago, when Madeline was about 4 and used to play with our son Carlton (then one). He was living with Carole in Bonnie Doon, Edmonton. He was a warm and gentle man, always good to talk to, calm and relaxed. I am sorry to have lost touch for so long, and extend my sincere condolences to all his family.

I will remember Pete for always taking the time to practicing his Kung Fu. Deepest sympathy to his close family and friends.

I will remember Pete as a dedicated researcher, a respectful man, and a gentle human being who loved his family and tried to live his life the best he could.
