Peter was a kind and caring man – how appropriate that he spent so much of his lifetime working with young people. His sense of community was second to none! Glendon School and Bonnyville School Division/Northern Lights were lucky to have such a teacher, principal and leader working for them. He was a joy to be with and I am honored to have known him as a friend and colleague. Elaine and family, please accept our warmest condolences as you remember Peter’s life.

Heartfelt condolences to Elaine, Rocky & family, Monty & family, and all Peter’s loved ones. As an educator Peter had a positive impact on many youth and he also served the community of Glendon so well. A personal memory of Peter that immediately comes to mind is a ride in his pontoon boat on Minnie Lake with he and Elaine, inclusive of good food & a refreshment in hand – it was a wonderful day, time, and visit. May countless wonderful memories of Peter help to comfort the family at this time. Rest in Peace Peter.
