He was born in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia and moved with his parents, brother and sister to Edrans, MB where they started their family farm.
Pete moved to Petersfield in 1951 and bought a trucking business which became Pete's Transfer, he hauled livestock, general freight and grain for the local farmers in the area. It was here he met Shirley Benzick and they married in 1957. He ran his transfer business until his retirement in 1996. In his retirement he helped his son Terry at the garage. He enjoyed visiting with the customers who came in.
When Terry was young, the family enjoyed camping, fishing and travelling around the province.
