Peter William Edgell

Peter is survived by his loving daughters Dawn and Heather; his cousins Pat (& Gerry) and Margaret (& Mick), their families; his sister-in-law, Angela his brothers-in-law, Gerard (and his wife Martine), Peter, John, Michael; many nieces and nephews; as well as extended family and many friends everywhere. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Betty, in 2021 and his parents before that.

Peter was an avid student of financial markets, a reader and a science fiction fan. He enjoyed spending time on the seafront and in the forest. He loved nature and animals and did his best to protect the plants and creatures of this world. He loved and took care of his family and had many positions in three different financial institutions after graduating from university.

Peter joined National Westminster Bank in England in 1971 and then after his marriage and the birth of his first daughter he was hired by Scotiabank and they immigrated into Canada in 1975. He was hired by ATB Financial in 1980 and served in many branches and departments until his retirement in 2005. Following this he did some part-time work for ATB before relocating with his wife to Parksville on Vancouver Island in 2013.

He will be missed by his family and most everyone who knew him.

We wish a special thank you to the wonderful caring staff from Proper Care and most recently Trillium Hospice. They provided fantastic care to Peter and compassionate support to his daughters during this difficult time.

In accordance with Peter’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. A celebration of life may be held at an undecided future date.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Peter’s memory can be made to BC Cancer Society https://cancer.ca/en/ways-to-give/donate-in-memory
