Peter was a great influence in my life. he mentored me as I went through university and then we worked together for many years. Although distance and time has meant we have not been together much in many years he has always been part of my thoughts as I explore new concepts or reflect on 'How would Peter have done this" . he truly had a great mind and was a wonderful person.

My condolences to Christine, Suzanne and Tom

Christine I am so sorry to hear of Peter's death. What a wonderful wonderful man he was. He was always a happy guy and so proud of you and his kids. My prayers are with you and the family. Will always have great memories of his stories of your poor neighbour with the snow on the driveway, the cleaning of floors with linseed oil and keeping the house cool in the summer with the sprinkler on the roof. He will be truly missed

Peter will be missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know him. We were neighbours for over 30 years. Peter was curious, caring and genuine. He would always take the time to share his knowledge of how things work. He applied his analytical skills professionally but he also carried them through to everyday life, looking always to improve how things are done.

Peter shared his gardening know-how and the produce too!! With his permission, we would periodically raid his garden for hot peppers, lettuce, and dill!

Peter had an infectious laugh and always had a kind word - he made sure to ask about your kids, your parents and about you. He recognized what is important.

Heartfelt condolences to Christine and the family. We miss you Peter.
