Peter will always be vivid in my memories.
Cheerful, entertaining and always welcoming.
I remember nine of us all crammed into one car (good thing we were little then) driving to the cottage - singing all the way in what seemed amazing harmony. Even though it has been decades since then, Peter will always hold a special place in my heart.
My deepest sympathies, Dorothy

Beryl and I enjoyed the delightful privilege of meeting Peter and Tanya in Uzhgorod, Ukraine last June in our role as part-time pastor to missionaries with the Evangelical Free Church of Canada Mission. Our hearts go out to Tanya and the Philpott family. May you experience God’s comfort and the encouragement of knowing that you will be reunited with Peter (II Corinthians 1:3-7; I Thessalonians 4:13-18).

Peter was a good friend and a true Brother in the Lord. He was interesting in our Bible studies, fun to make up word games with, and always ready to share the reality of the gospel of Christ. To his family, I'm so sorry that he left us so suddenly and so young. You are in my prayers.

We are shocked at hearing the sad news. We met Peter at the Bible study group at UofO. He was one of a few people who helped me with English, helped me get to know Ottawa and the Canadian culture, and introduced me to Christianity.
Simply put, Peter is a Good Man.
Our sincere condolences to the Philpott family. May you stay
in peace with God Peter.

So sorry to hear the news of Peter's sudden passing. In such times as these, in the pain and anguish, I know that the Lord will sustain.
I remember Peter as PEP's older brother from ISFF and IV days while I was at Glebe at at Carleton.

I am so sorry to hear of Peter's death. He was a good friend to me while I was a student in Ottawa. I have rarely met a kinder more generous person.

Dear Tanya, Jim and all of Peter’s siblings, relatives and friends,
We have just received the news of Peter’s sudden falling-asleep in the Lord. We share your shock and grief at this time. However, we trust that the Lord Jesus Christ has taken him into His loving care at the time appointed for him in His Master's love and wisdom and through His sovereign working in all things. We pray that our loving God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Source of all consolation and comfort, will, by His Holy Spirit, grant your beloved Peter rest from his labours in a place of light, from which sorrow and sighing have fled away. We pray that he will be enveloped with love in His Saviour’s presence and be granted a place with the righteous in His eternal Kingdom. May the Lord also comfort and give you His peace, along with the confidence that you shall be re-united fully with him in the resurrection in due time.
We did not meet Tanya, but would like to assure her of our love and prayers at this time, and that we too, loved (and continue to love) Peter and have many, many fond memories of times with him and his wonderful family, whose gift of loving hospitality to us and to a great many people, has never been matched in our 60+ years experience of journeying in this world with our Lord Jesus Christ.
We would welcome getting in touch again.
May the Lord grant you all the riches of His grace and presence during this time of great loss and grieving!
With many fond memories, much love and gratitude, and prayers in Christ for you all,

I was a friend of Jan's in high school, and I remember sleepovers at the Philpott house on the Driveway. There was so much love in that household. I'm very sorry for your lose. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very sad time.

I am so sorry to hear that Peter has gone.
We have lost his smile, his philosophical musings and his commitment to mission. All of these were of such value to many. I am saddened to know the “story teller” has gone home - but what a home he has entered! He is with his Lord and with his Mom. How sweet is the hope of Christian faith especially in the context of such a sudden loss. I pray for special blessing on all his loved ones at this time.

Peter always kept us laughing with his "colour" idioms and jokes and we enjoyed our time with him on ISM outings and at IVCF area committee.
Tanya, Jim, Lillian, Pat and all the family, please accept our sincere condolences on the seemingly untimely death of dear Peter. he was loved by everyone.

We in the Evangelical Free Church of Canada Mission are truly saddened by Peter's sudden passing. However, we are comforted knowing that his life has influenced many toward a relationship with Christ and that he is now with his Lord who he loved. Our prayers continue to be with Tanya and the family.

What very fond memories of many great times spent with Peter. At the cottage, on the hockey rink as we made - to us - world-famous movies, playing boardgames, going to church, always smiling and having a great laugh. Peter, you will be missed - and your friendship is cherished.

Heaven is a richer place and we are poorer. Peter was a great example of a Christian who truly lived as Christ. He loved his wife Tanya dearly and was the ultimate true gentleman with her. May God comfort his family and give them His strength and grace, especially Tanya.

Peter was a very special guy. One was always impressed by the depth and reality of his commitment to Christ. Many people had a very soft spot in their hearts for him.
