After a lengthy illness, Peter passed away peacefully at Port Colborne Hospital on September 20, 2020. Loving husband and best friend to Isabel of 66 amazing years. Wonderful father to Cathy (Denis), Louise, Bud (Cathy) and Paul (Anne). Proud “Poppa” to his adored 11 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews. Peter is pre-deceased by his infant son Thomas and grandson Peter III, never to be forgotten. He was self-employed for 10 + years, which led to his later employment with Bell Canada. He never wavered in his devotion to his Toronto teams, especially his “Maple Leafs”. He was inducted into the Niagara Falls Sports Hall of Fame for Basketball. Throughout his life he always played golf, until the age of 85. He will be missed by his many family and friends.
