Peter came to Canada by ship in 1949 with his family. Became a Canadian citizen in 1977. Peter was a farmer and a trucker. He enjoyed watching wrestling, reading the newspaper keeping up on current events and spending time with his family.
He drove until 92 years of age to socialize with family, neighbours and friends. Almost every day for the past five years he drove to Trenton to have an A&W breakfast special.
If you ever needed to write something down he always had a pen and paper in his shirt pocket.
The family would like to thank everyone that took care of Peter since his first hospitalization of March of this year. In the Trenton Hospital, Belleville Hospital and Home Care between hospital visits. Special thanks to the staff of Hastings Manor nursing home in Belleville for your compassion, understanding and exceptional care during Peters final months and days.
As per Peter’s wishes cremation has taken place and a private family interment is planned. A celebration of Peter’s life will be held in the spring of 2023 in London/Strathroy area where most of his siblings and extended family live.
In Lieu of flowers please make donations to the charity of your choice or you may honour Peter’s memory by paying it forward with a kind art for another.
We love you dad and miss you. Keep on Trucking!
