In his youth Peter could be found hunting and fishing around the hills of Whitefish. Peter along with family members enjoyed picking berries. As an avid outdoorsman Peter would hike and bike around the bush in Elliot Lake. As an avid stargazer and weatherman he would readily give you reports. He was very creative and intuitive when something needed to be done around the house he went ahead and fixed it. Peter learned to do leatherwork and woodcarving a variety of bowls and walking sticks. He was very mechanically inclined he could be found repairing or replacing vehicle parts for his sisters. Besides keeping up with world events his favorite pastime was following F1 car racing. Peter will be greatly missed by those who knew him. As per his wishes there will be no formal service.  The Sky has gained another Star.
