Deepest condolences Marita, Paul, Todd and Ritchie. Albeit a long time ago, I remember Peter as a very kind, gentle man who loved and was so proud of his family. I'm sure his loss will leave a huge hole for you all. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Karyn Murray

Peter was such a good friend to me when my husband died. And during Diana's long fight to live, I was proud to share in praying for her health, and later for her happiness.
You have lost a good man and a wonderful caring husband and father. He is safe now in Jesus hands. Thank you for sharing him with Glendowie Baptist Church for so many years.
