Peter PURDUE

I knew Peter only briefly as a student of his but was touched deeply by his kindness and love of teaching. He taught me what it was to be a compassionate teacher.

My condolences to family, friends and colleagues of Peter. His kindness expressed through short 'visits' during my short time at the Aboriginal Education Research Centre at the University were much appreciated. Maarsi Peter!

So sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He has been a mentor and friend to me since I took his class in 1986. His dedication to art education improved the lives of countless people. He will be missed.

Condolences to Peter's family and especially to his many dear friends. He will be missed.

Many fond memories of Peter, including his signature bow tie. My condolences!

Sad news.he was lovely man with a beautiful mind .peter will be missed by all.

Rest easy Peter! Thank you for your knowledge and love of art and history!

A wonderful man whose presence on past projects was valued and appreciated. He was great to work with and will certainly be missed.

Deepest Sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Purdue. We all enjoyed our little chats with him when he would drop his clothes off and pick them up from our establishment. He will be missed.

my prayers are with his family may god give them strength

We offer you our thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this sad time. your cousins shay (séamus) john, debbie, lar, marcie (ireland)

My prayers are with Peter's family. I was the Admin. in Art & Art History for many years and have many fond memories of Peter over the years . I have a picture of him signing his retirement papers. Hope it brings a smile to your face.

Peter was a bon vivant, an accomplished dialogist, and a brilliant wit. I recall standing with him in Topkapi Palace in Istanbul when he announced that all Saskatchewan was his personal seraglio.
