Peter spent his youth in Ridgeway where he attended high school. Peter was a fun-loving caring person who enjoyed helping those who needed a hand with different projects, a very handy man. Work as a small-engine mechanic carried him through many years working in various places including several years working for Alcan in Kitimat, B.C.. He then settled back in the Crystal Beach area where he spent a lot of time with his two grandsons.
His other loves were fishing and hunting. In his later years as his health declined, he especially loved watching old westerns and fishing shows.
May the Lord catch him up in his big landing net and take him where the fishing is always fabulous.
Peter and Diane are members at the Crystal Ridge Community Church in Crystal Beach. Their life in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour has carried them through life’s journeys.
