PEETERS: Piet of Bayfield, formerly of Zurich

December 26, 2020 By Haskett Funeral Homes 52 Condolences

PEETERS: Piet of Bayfield, formerly of Zurich

Suddenly at his home on Friday, December 25, 2020 of Bayfield, formerly of Zurich at the age of 66. Cherished husband of Coby (de Boer) Peeters for over 41 years. Proud father of Rene and Lee, Mark and Jennie, Nico and Amy, and Erik and Melissa. Adored Opa of Madelyn, Emily, Carter, and Cole; Scott; Emma, Laci, Cruz, and Tess; Jake, and Alexis. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Koos Peeters, Jan Peeters and Henny, Wim and Jean Peeters, Diny and Bert Druggen, and Henk and Nicky Peeters. Piet will be missed by the de Boer family. Predeceased by his parents Mathijs and Petronella (Cox) Peeters.

Piet worked hard on his pig farm in the Zurich area for many years. After retirement, he still liked to help his sons on the farm. In his spare time, he enjoyed building things, woodworking, and liked to keep himself busy. Piet enjoyed creating his backyard “holiday resort” for his family to spend time and enjoy themselves.

A private family memorial service will be held on Wednesday, December 30th at 3 PM. Though the service is private, the family invites you to join with them from the comfort of your own home. Stream the service live or at your convenience by visiting www.facebook.com/haskettfh.

    Beste Familie en Coby
    Gecondoleerd met met het zo plotselinge verlies van Piet. Kerstmis het feest van de geboorte en niet van de dood.
    De herinneringen aan jullie tijd in Nederland komen dan weer boven en vooral Piet zijn tijd bij de drumband.
    Piet was er altijd en vol overgave zonder concessies aan datgene waarvoor we gingen.
    Het afscheidsfeest van Nederland in de Smelehof met muziek van Trade mark het is net alsof het gisteren was. Maar nu een ander afscheid helaas.
    Voor de komende tijd jullie allemaal veel sterkte. Wellicht komen jullie Piet nog vaak tegen bij alles wat jullie samen opgebouwd hebben in Canada en waarbij de gedachten aan Piet wellicht nog vaak terugkomen.

    Lei Potten.

    Coby en familie. Gecondoleerd met het plotselinge verlies van Piet. Ik vond het mooi dat jullie na al die jaren Canada nog een keer op bezoek zijn geweest bij de Drumband. Het mooie aan Piet vond ik zijn ongenuanceerde meningen, recht voor de raap maar wel eerlijk. Veel sterkte

    What a shock to hear of Piet’s passing.
    Our condolences go to Coby with Rene, Mark, Nico, Erik and their respective families at this very special time of the year turned extremely difficult.
    Memories of Piet will always include values that he shared with Coby such as “Family is First” and pride of the 4 boys along with a passion for farming and a outstanding work ethic even in “retirement”
    Memories of his no nonsense attitude and intolerance toward the opposite will forever make me smile.
    Grateful to have called Piet a friend for many years and thankful for the times we shared, we trust that for us and especially Coby and Family, the fond memories of Piet will by far outweigh and outlast the pain in his loss.
    Gord and Marianne Kaastra
