Peter Markgraf Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 22, 2008.
MARKGRAF, Peter. 1924-2008. Peter Markgraf passed away in his sleep on September 16, 2008 in his Hudson Club home. He and his wife, Traudl, who predeceased him, leave behind a unique artistic legacy which includes high quality silk screen reproductions of Canadian artists, their own signed prints of Canadian landscapes and their own paintings. They themselves thought some of their best work was in their reproductions and paintings but the signed prints of West Coast mountains, seascapes and lakes were the most popular and those hang in thousands of homes across Canada. He is missed by his sons, Bert (Heather) and Peter (Janice), his grandchildren Kris, Tessa, Chloe, Julie and Rudi, and his great grandson Sage Oliver. In accordance with his wishes, there will be no public ceremony.

Bert:

I was shocked to hear of Peter's passing. He had such a wry humour. My condolences.

Hello Bert,
Linda joins me in expressing our deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. I met him once, and was struck by what an interesting and unusual man he was. Our warmest wishes to you and your family.
