Nicole, Kathleen et Kyle: Nous sommes attristés d’apprendre le décès de Peter. Peter était un bon vivant; on se rappellera des bons moments passés ensembles et lors du camping. Nos plus sincères condoléances, on pense à vous tous pendant ce temps très difficile. Bon courage.
Pete was a friend to so many including our family. He loved life, was always quick with a joke, loved cooking great food, and if there was an “issue” with our house, he would always be willing to take a look and offer help or advice. His smile was infectious and he leaves a legacy of life through his beautiful family. May he rest in peace. … from La famille Robinson
I was deeply saddened to hear about Peter’s passing. Having worked with him for several years at the Woodward branch, I know how much his family meant to him. His sense of humor and energy always brightened the day at work and I am sending my deepest condolances to the whole family and especially Nicole.
Please accept our most profound condolences, Peter was a one of a kind guy, always full of life, willing to help everyone at any time and under any circumstances.
He will be missed, he is missed, we don’t always realize what we have till we loose someone like Peter.
God bless his soul and may he rest in peace.
Eileen and Roger.

I was so deeply saddened to hear of Peter’s passing. Life can be so tragic. Thinking of you, Nicole, and your family. May happy memories, and the birth of Philippe, lessen your sorrow during the difficult days ahead.
We always refer to Pete as *Buffalo Pete* when he showed up at Lake Bernard with a humongous steak for supper. Nos plus sincères sympathies à Nicole et la famille.
