June 4, 1936 - January 25, 2017
Peter died peacefully at St.
Joseph’s hospital in Comox in
the early hours of Wednesday,
January 25 at the age of 80. He is
survived by his beloved wife of 54
years Marlene (nee Williams), son
Scott, daughter in-law Michelle
and grandchildren Boston and
Sierra of Victoria, and sisters Esme
of Calgary and Barbara of Corona
California. Peter served 25 years
in the Royal Canadian Airforce
flying the CF100, CF104 and the CT-
133 (T-bird) in the defence of our
great country. He also served 15
years at the Canadian Department
of Transportation in Ottawa and
Vancouver serving as a licensing
officer for Canada’s airline pilots.
During Peter’s career he had many
postings including Baden Baden Germany, North Bay Ontario, Trenton
Ontario and Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. Peter loved life. In retirement
he actively pursued Boating, Motorcycling, Golf, Music and Travel.
He always left those he touched better for having known him and his
community was better for having him in it. May we all strive towards
his example.
At his bequest there will not be a formal funeral, but has asked instead
for a brief celebration of his life and interment of his ashes to be held
later this spring. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name
to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be emailed
