To Phil, Brian and Trish. Sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. A part of Port Albert history is now gone as Petrie’s store was an institution! We are thinking of you.

Pete was a great person.
Although we haven’t crossed paths in a few years, I will always remember the times we played ball together. Pete and a few of his “Pirate” teammates undertook to teach a bunch of pretty green Dungannon lads how to play softball. We learned a lot of things but mostly how to enjoy the sport and the company of being among friends.
Sincere sympathy to all of the family. I’m sure you also have many cherished memories.

My condolences to family and friends.
Used to “hang out” with my friends at the general store, many summer days, “back in the day”.

So sorry to hear of Pete’s passing. Growing up with a cottage in Port Albert, Pete and his family made a lasting impression on our family. Pete taught me a lot about the general store business (as an impressionable 10 year old) and even made me an honorary grocery assistant! Our sincere condolences to Philip, Brian, and Trish and their families. RIP Pete.

I was sorry to see that Pete has passed. I volunteer at Goderich Place and loved to see Petes smile when he came down to entertainment. He was a gentle, kind man and will be missed. Gods garden has another angel! RIP Pete!
