Sylvia,

You and I have never met and I only recently learned of Peter's passing from John Quigley. I knew Peter well in the early 1950's in Perth and we had some wonderful times together. He joined the RCAf and wanted me to go also but I went on to a 39 year career in the Royal Bank. We had no contact thereafter but I often thought of him. May God grant you the peace and strength necessary to carry on in life. I am sure God welcomed Peter with open arms and he will be waiting for you in paradise.

Dearest Sylvia and Family,
It was profoundly sad for Pete and I to learn of the passing of your beloved Peter, your soulmate.
What a long fight it has been for the two of you these many years. A cancer journey endured by Peter, and you, Sylvia, always being lovingly by his side throughout it all. With grit and love, and a shared sense of humour. An honoured life. An inspiration.
Peter has been called to God and to Heaven; we know love goes on forever. Your many beautiful memories will comfort you, Sylvia. You are in our hearts, our thoughts, and prayers.
With our sympathies,and love.
Ursula & Peter McDonald
P.S. Pete and I imagine Peter to be flying (well, soaring) amongst the stars, and making angels laugh!

Dear Sylvia & family.

We are deeply saddened that Pete has moved to a better place to entertain all with his stories & laughter! He made us all laugh even when things were not going well. We will be telling Pete's stories forever! What a great guy and friend. ( He actually gave me my nick-name - which most people use today!) . Enjoy your rest with our Lord & Father....you deserve it buddy!

My deepest sympathy to you Sylvia, Heather, John, and Darcy. I have many memories of Pete to cherish through the years. He was always my handsome and high flying elder cousin and I looked up to him a great deal. He showed great kindness to me when I was a student in Montreal, sharing his beautiful sailboat and condo. May he rest in eternal peace. Pam Buell

We share your sorrow Sylvia. Pete was my cousin and I have many childhood memories of going to Perth to see Auntie Flora and Uncle Art, Pete and Heather, sharing in Flora's baking, sleeping on the floor during festivals in Stewart Park, etc. We were always so proud that our cousin was an Air Canada pilot and whenever we took a flight (not often) because our dad worked for CN we would listen for the name of the Captain.

So sorry Sylvia, I only spoke once more with Pete after the breakfast both of you and I had in Toronto many years ago. I believe Hugh was there also. He no longer has any pain, and has embarked on life's last great adventure. But her will be missed on this side.
