The congregation at St. Paul’s is holding Suzanne, the family, and all who mourn in our hearts and in our prayers. We are grateful for the gifts Rev. Peter shared with us while he was rector. May he rest in peace and rise in glory and may his memory be a blessing.
I am very sorry to hear of Peter’s death. Our paths have crossed many times throughout life beginning with the first day studying theology at Huron. He was a faithful servant of our Lord and he positively touched the lives of many people wherever he served! Suzanne, Jane and I would wish to share in the service on Monday but we are still visiting our family in New Zealand. We send you and your family our love and prayers.
Dear Suzanne Kirsten, Anthony, Nigel and families: I was a classmate of Peter at Huron College during our MDiv training and we have fond memories of Peter. In retirement I became Chaplain to the Burl-oak Naval Veterans, and HMCS Haida, and a fill-in Chaplain for HMCS STAR, when their own Chaplain could not attend a public ceremony. Please accept our sympathies and condolences. May Peter rest in peace, and rise in glory.
Suzanne, I’m sorry to hear of Peters death.

He won’t be suffering any longer and you will have such wonderful memories of your life together.

I am sorry for the loss of Peter. Peter officiated at my marriage in Millbank. He was very much a part of our life. May he rest in glory.
Sending condolences to Suzanne and family. We always enjoyed Peter’s sermons when he was our minister at St. Stephens in Gorrie. Cherish your memories. Sincerely Myrna and Jaime Gibson
Kirsten sorry to hear about the passing of your father. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Thinking of you.
Suzanne and Family,
Sending our deepest condolences to all. It was our absolute pleasure to spend time in Peter’s presence at Southbridge. His gentle demeanor and warm smile always brought peace to our hearts.
Peter left his mark in so many wonderful and positive ways during his life. Carolyn was so pleased to collaborate with him on various undertakings and to learn much from Peter. James and Carolyn treasure the special friendship that developed with such an enlightened and enlightening gentleman. Gone from this earthly realm, but never forgotten. Sending love and hugs to his family — and to Peter’s blessed memory.
Dear Suzanne, I am so sorry for your loss. My memories of both you and Peter, of Kirsten, Anthony and Nigel are those of great friends and neighbours of many years. We lived sided by side with our young families and busy lives, – you busy with running a parish & teaching, us with a medical practice. We shared many laughs and tears over tea and talks in the porch. I will always remember Peter’s wise and kind counsel to me when I was in need. He did that for so many. What a wonderful legacy Peter leaves. He is gone now but his memory lives on.
Suzanne my deepest condolences to you and your family at this sad time. Sending prayers to you and a big hug. Your Hats&Mats family are thinking of you. No more suffering for Peter…may he rest in peace. Your memories of a life lived well will help carry you through. Love Tracy
We have so many great memories of your family during Peter’s time in Millbank.
He was always so kind.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
