July 21, 1935 - May 14, 2024

Peter passed away peacefully, in Whitby.

He will by sadly missed by his loving wife, Patricia; daughters, Leah (Kerry) and Tracey (Gabriel); grandchildren, Yasmeen and Richie; many friends in Whitby, Ontario, and extended family in Britain.

Now at peace with his infant sons, Glenn and Thomas.

Special thanks to Rodger and Tony for their enduring friendship, and neighbour, Adam, for all his help.

A proud Welshman born in Undy, South Wales, Peter spent his younger years in the British Merchant Navy. He loved sharing stories about his trips around the world.

He immigrated to Canada more than fifty years ago without "two nickels to rub together." He was a Sears Canada sales manager for many years, and worked hard to make a comfortable life for his family.

In retirement, he enjoyed road trips with Pat, having a good meal, strolling around the neighbourhood, listening to Big Band music, weekly trips to the library to keep up his encyclopedic knowledge, and spending time with his family.

He mentored and helped many people to improve their lives, sharing the wisdom he learned in the school of hard knocks.

Despite many challenges he endured throughout his life, he always maintained his sense of humour. He loved a good joke (the saltier, the better) and his laughter will be his legacy.

In lieu of flowers or donations, share a joke and make someone laugh in his memory.

In keeping with Peter's wishes, there will be no funeral.

Cremation has taken place at MOUNT LAWN FUNERAL HOME in Whitby.
