elevated 0b32e Suddenly on Saturday, September 21st, 2019 a loving husband, father and brother passed away at home. Forever in the heart of his loving wife, Rosemary de Paulsen. A role model to aspire to be like for his children Erik, Richard, and Kristine. He will always be remembered by his siblings June (Mike), Nigel (Linda), Marguerite (Bob), Bernard, Cecilia (Jeff) and Allan (Joanne). Predeceased by his brother Lawrence. A lasting impression of his time with us will be left on all his extended family, friends, and colleagues.
elevated 0b32e Peter was a man of well-rounded talents, from outdoorsmanship, to culinary skills, to the arts, and to technology. He always kept bettering himself and trying to pass this on to those around him. Sometimes stubborn, but always a ‘yes’ man, he faced every challenge with vigor and a solution.
elevated 0b32e Peter, an avid fisherman and hunter, had a love of the outdoors. Camping, canoeing, boating, if it was an outdoor activity, he had a passion for it. He passed this passion on to his children, family and friends, teaching survival and life skills.
elevated 0b32e Peter will be forever loved and thanked for the impact he made on our lives.
