Goodbye

I have known Peter since I was 16 years old. He and Bobby opened their house on Saint Famille Boulevard in Montreal, Quebec to my boyfriend and me. This boyfriend was like the son they never had. This relationship lasted both Peter and Bobby’s lifetimes.

Thirty years later, Peter stood up for us as his best man at our wedding and his beloved Bobby was our Master of Ceremonies.

They are now together in peaceful eternity and I will always cherish the memories.

Cher Peter, quelle tristesse d'apprendre ton départ. Notre région perd un grand homme. Je te salue pour ton engagement social, ton dévouement envers l'excellence, pour la cuisine, mais aussi à tout égard. Ton sens de l'humour et d'observation nous manquera grandement en ce moment de grands bouleversements à l'échelle mondiale. Te croiser devenait un haut fait du jour. Tu nous es arrivé de Montréal et tu as du tout début immensément contribué à la dynamique chez nous. Merci pour tout. Et tu salueras Bob de ma part, une fois bien installé dans ton loft céleste. Vous deux avez grandement contribué de plusieurs façon à notre communauté. Nous ne vous oublierons jamais.

Mes condoléances à toute la famille et ses très nombreux ami.e.s

Jean Poirier, Alfred, ancien député provincial, Prescott-Russell

My sincere sympathies to family and friends. Peter and Bob were my very good neighbours for over forty years.

My condolences to the family and friends of Peter. I knew him mostly through how deeply he cared for and nurtured my brother-in-law, and was so devoted to Bobby. RIP Peter, together forever.

I remember Peter fondly from the chats around the table at Vankleek Hill Farmer's Market. He was clearly a remarkable person who lived a life full of richness in experience and friendship. I pass on my condolences to everyone who loved him and will miss him. R.I.P. Peter

I first met Peter at Concordia University back in the 70’s and was surprised when I reconnected with him in Vankleek HIll. He was one of a kind and will be missed by all who knew him.

Such a beautifully written obituary that captures the light and spirit of Peter so perfectly!!! Such wonderful memories of Peter over many years ... he will be missed. Deepest sympathies to all his family and friends. A special hug to those wonderful friends that contributed to his care and wellbeing over many years. Rest well Peter, and how wonderful that you and Bob are finally reunited.

Deepest sympathies to all

So many fond friendly and funny memories of Peter...he was a delightful gentleman to be around...a joy to anyone who knew him...a fountain of knowledge...and that mustache his personal trait mark...the envy of all!

Rest in peace and the love that surrounds such an honorable man.

Peter...you will be missed dearly!

God bless

Rest in peace Peter. You and Bob were great friends.

I have so many fond memories of Peter and remember a lot of good times with both Peter and Bob. My father adored them both and he spent many hours at the Remo-Deli reminiscing as former Montrealers. Rest in Peace, Peter.
