PETER JAMES PETERS 1943 - 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peter James Peters, after a short illness on August 5, 2012.

Peter was born on June 15, 1943, in Morden, MB. He worked at the Winnipeg School Division for over 20 years, until his retirement. After retirement he loved to go for breakfast with his buddies and lived for his grandchildren, going to watch all their activities. Dad was everyone's taxi driver. He loved to go camping and fishing with his family. He was known as Pete the neighbourhood Dad. He treated everyone like they were his own family. The family would like to thank the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital, especially the ICU and 5th Floor Unit 1 nurses.

  • My Sincere Condolences to the Peters Family at this very difficult time - Posted by: Roy (friend) on: Aug 13, 2012

  • Your passing will have a tremendous impact on your family and friends and will leave a huge void in their worlds. Especially because Uncle Peter was always the first one there if someone needed help with things like moving, fixing something, or, as seen from other comments, giving a ride. Although he is gone, I will never forget how Uncle Peter was always a big part of our weekly Sunday dinners at Baba's when I was growing up. - Posted by: Darryl (Nephew) on: Aug 13, 2012

  • Rest in Peace Pete. - Posted by: Lelia Clinic Nurses () on: Aug 11, 2012

  • I will miss Peachu. I remember skipping school and Pete driving An and me to get ACDC tickets. We would try to tick him off to see that crazy eye roll flutter of his. He never stayed mad with you. Gruff on the outside, soft on the inside is what made Pete so lovable. - Posted by: Tabitha (family friend) on: Aug 11, 2012

  • I COULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER FATHER THAN YOU SEE U ON THE OTHER SIDE ONE DAY SOON AND MOM MISSES YOU SO MUCH RIP - Posted by: Glenn (Son) on: Aug 11, 2012

  • I remember Pete taking me to the Brooklands for Breakfast a number of times and remember him always with a smile and he used to give all of us a ride wherever we wanted to go and we wanted to say thanks to one of the most goodhearted people ever and you will be missed Pete and may you rest in peace. - Posted by: Darren Johnston and Shelley Gillies (friend and old Neighbour) on: Aug 10, 2012

  • I am equally shocked and surprised to know of your passing, Cousin. I will miss those phone calls. I will miss you. - Posted by: Grace Laframboise (cousin) on: Aug 10, 2012

  • Our sympathies are with your family at this difficult time.... Kyle Bieganowski, Shelley, Evan and Anden - Posted by: kyle and shelley (friends of andrea and tim) on: Aug 09, 2012

  • I am so sorry for your loss, years ago when Peter had a truck and we were moving, and the guy had left our things in the driveway Peter came over after his work with his truck and moved us I was so thankful he had a big heart after a number of years I would see him playing the machines at the Canad Inns on McPhilips and we would have a chat on what was new in his life. I will miss you Peter. - Posted by: John (Acquaintance.) on: Aug 09, 2012

  • Uncle Peter u will be sadly missed. I have many many memories of the time we spent together. My first memories are going to see u, aunty Terry and my cousins when u lived in the Maples. We would have the whole family there for gatherings or me and my mom would just come for a coffee on Saturday mornings.In the 80's me and my mom would go for coffee to the Brooklands Inn and come see uncle Peter...everyone luved him there! Especially thank u for all the time u were always there for me when I was a child. When my mom was very sick when I was a child u were always there and would say "stay strong and u will make it through this" and I have always heard your voice in hard times telling me to "stay strong". Thank u for always being there with me through the rough times....I will continue to take your advice and be strong! Love u Uncle Peter. Sorry for your loss Aunty Terry, Glen, Todd, Andrea and all the grandkids....he will be missed :( - Posted by: Anna Peters (niece) on: Aug 09, 2012
