Peter was a great neighbour! Always one to lend a helping hand and so kind hearted. I was very fortunate to have him next door to me for 14 years. He will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to his brother John and his family as well as his daughter Tori.

Hello, my name is Samaa. I was a Co-op Student at Southlake this past semester, and had the pleasure of getting to know Peter through helping him out on a daily basis. Although I only knew him for four months, I consider him a dear friend. I am eternally grateful for the time I got to spend with him, and I can only hope he knew how much his friendship meant to me. I send my deepest condolences to his family and friends; you are all in my prayers. Peter is gone, but will most definitely never be forgotten.

Peter was a good man who loved life. He enjoyed fishing and sports but could have an animated discussion about the best barbeque recipes. His barbequed burgers and fish were the best ever. When I think of Peter it will be on his boat at the Sunivale fishing resort at sunset. He will be blasting out of the harbour to get the last fish of the day.
Peter was a kind and loving man. He always had time to listen or make suggestions. I will miss him but I am glad that he is no longer suffering. I hope he finds peace in heaven. I send my condolences to John and his family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad! Peter was our neighbour for 8 years. He was kind, helpful and always had a story to tell. When we saw Peter in the hospital he tried very hard to tell us he was going to visit us in Florida this year, sadly we won’t see him again. He may be gone but never forgotten. Our sincere condolences to all his family and friends.
Love,
Pat and Mike Crompton
