Lise and I are devastated. You have our heartfelt condolences. All the tributes expressed on this site need not be repeated by us.
They are so eloquent but I will share with everyone the first time we met. .Rick and I were cruising Cornell on a Saturday morning in the spring over 20 years ago recruiting players for our ball league. You and Peter were walking hand in hand when we stopped The first thing we offered was a beer , then an invitation to join the league. .He immediately signed up and paid the fees. The rest is history. He went on to become a DAWG.

I have been trying to decide what to write but nothing seems right… Pete is so hard to sum up in a few sentences.
He was a great guy, kind of like a brother to me. Goofy jokes, nicknames, sarcastic remarks and good natured teasing but he was also warm, caring, easy to talk to and knowledgable about so many things.
He and Carol made such a good team.
He will be missed by many but none more than Carol.
Carol, please know Grant and I are here if you need us.
Our sincere condolences to you and the rest of Pete’s family
Hugs,
Diane and Grant Wannop

Peter was an amazing friend, teammate, leader, business mentor and all around amazing guy. Peter was so thoughtful and gracious with my Uncle (Kev) and Grandmother (Grandma Mac). Too many fun times to mention but some that really stand out to me include all the time we spent on the ball diamond together, pops before and after games, wings at the Dutchess, slow pitch nationals in Newfoundland, and Peter’s willingness to take on the thank-less job of MC at my wedding. Peter went above and beyond. He was so well prepared, making every sound-bite personal with lots of humour throughout. Carol - Melanie and I are so thankful we were able to share so many amazing memories with you and Pete over the years. Love you tons.

How special was Peter! I fondly remember his smiling face as he entered my grade 5 classroom at Parkway PS in Brampton. The kids and I looked forward to his arrival, it would be a good day! He always made everyone feel better and do better with his jokes and fun. I recall he was very good in math. A special student, a special adult who will be missed by all. Dorothy Willis (Dowey)

Peter was an amazing man and neighbour. He was always there to help anyone in need and offered up great advice. His creativity was impressive, demonstrated in his awesome woodwork pieces and amazing spaces (luv-the-she-shack). He will be missed by all

"Peter was a beautiful man, strong in spirit, patient, witty, supportive, loving, intelligent. He loved to laugh. He had a powerful energy that drew people to him and you couldn't help but like him. He had the heart of a warrior, a fierce competitor, which is why he loved playing ball and hockey and hanging out with boys. As hard as he played on the field or on the ice, he could also do the opposite and relax and soak in the little things in life like a good cigar. He was always around to lend a helping hand. He has left a hole in many people's lives. In mine, he has left a crater. I could never have asked for a better partner in life. He is deeply missed and irreplaceable. I will love him always. Thank you, Peter, for loving me and sharing your life with me. I will forever be your loving wife."

Sincerest condolences to Peter’s family, especially Carol. He loved you so much. Such sad news.
I met Peter over 30 years ago when I was his supervisor and he the head lifeguard at McMurchy pool. He was always so full of life and our friendship lasted over the years with an occasional catchup lunch. He always had some business venture on the go and always talked about his loving relationship with his best friend Carol. Peter was a dear friend and always had a listening ear. Will miss you Buddy❤️

Shocked and Saddened can not begin to cover the emotions we have felt since hearing the news of Peter's passing.
Such an amazing, fun, funny, happy man that didn't have a bad word to say about anyone.
Always had a smile on his face and a ready comeback to fit any situation.
He could always make me laugh, at him and at myself.
He will be greatly missed by many.
Our heart breaks for his wife Carol. Don't worry Pete, we will look after her!
R.I.P Friend,
Jennifer MacNeill and Rick Nicholson

"Throw Them the Junk" (Pete)
I played ball with Pete for almost 20 years and 20 years of Dawgs socials ( I think that's why he played ball ). He was always the one on the team that would inspire you to play harder, play for the win, but most importunely play to have fun. I will always remember Pete as an outstanding ball player, out there in center field razzing the other team and the boys on the hill. To say he will be missed is an understatement, he has touched so many lives which is a testimony to the man Peter was.
RIP my friend. I know you're up there playing ball, so always remember ,when your ahead on the count Pete....THROW THEM THE JUNK !!!!!!!
