Peter Frank Fremmerlid

Peter was born in Vancouver, B.C. on Oct.13, 1941. In Vancouver, Peter developed his love of baseball, cars and music. He learned guitar and began playing in many bands and events in the early days of Vancouver rock’n’roll with notable names, starting at John Oliver High School.

In 1959, Peter moved to Prince George where he continued to pursue music. There he worked as a postal carrier, a Rocky Mountain Ranger, and then as a purchaser at BC Rail Materials Management until retirement.

He met the love of his life, Marilynn Bilokrely, in P.G. and in 1966 they married. Three daughters, Dayna (Steve), Leigh (Brent), and Kelly and four grandsons (Aaron, Aiden, Nolan, Scott) came along during their 52 years together.

Bowling at Nechako Lanes was a highlight with many tournaments (and a perfect game!) over the years; as were the ball tournaments at BC Rail.

Throughout his life, Peter (Pete Love) continued to play guitar in many bands. From the living room or front lawn at 8th and Laurier, to Danceland, to the far and local venues and clubs, he entertained many and even made a couple of albums! So many band names over the years like Snuffy and the Hired Hands, None of the Above and The Rae King Blues Band--just to name a few. Along with many lifelong friends, Peter’s son-in-law Steve Smith joined him on the stage for many years.

Peter had a funny, clever wit and was full of information and had many tales to tell. He loved to share TV, movies and music.

Peter loved his family and the long days of spring and summer. We will miss him.

Survived by his daughters and their families, eight brothers and sisters and their families. Predeceased by his wife Marilynn; parents Peter and Frankie Fremmerlid and parents-in-law Anne and Bill Bilokrely.

Play on Dad.

We Love You.
