Condolences for the family of “PETRIE: Elwin “Pete””
Pete will always be remembered in the Port Albert community. Pete Store and now Pete Park. RIP Pete
We sure enjoyed some fine times together! I wouldn’t have missed a minute of it.
To your family – It was an honour to have known him!!
Trish and Jeff , Phil and Liz, and families. We are so sorry for Your loss . You are in Our thoughts and Prayers .
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!
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.
Our deepest condolences to your family for the loss of a great man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and everyday.
We were sorry to hear of Pete’s passing. Will miss the stories and jokes and little chats we had. Thinking of all the family, but your memories must be awesome, just like your Dad. Take care.
Pete always wore a smile with a joke tucked in his pocket. It was an honour knowing him. Condolences on the loss of such a warm and gentle soul. RIP Pete.
So sorry to hear of Pete’s passing. His big smile and great sense of humour will be missed. Thinking of you all at this difficult time. RIP, Pete.
Philip, Brian and Trish
I was so sad to hear of your Dad’s passing. He was a lovely man with the best jokes. I have many fond memories of him.
May he rest in peace.
My condolences to family and friends.
Used to “hang out” with my friends at the general store, many summer days, “back in the day”.
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.

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.
