elevated QC8iK Dearest brother of the late June (Erwin Roy), Maryann (the late Nick Wolkowski) and Charles. Brother-in-law to Walter (Joelly), Maureen, Kerry (Melinda), Tammy (Fred Cole), and Brian (Linda). 

elevated QC8iK Peter was born in Bombay, India and as a 16 year old, immigrated to Montreal with his family. He studied mechanical engineering at McGill University, where he met the love of his life, Louise. It was in these university years that Peter met Opus Dei, whose spirit would inspire his entire life. He had no idea what adventure was in store!  

elevated QC8iK Their young family kept growing, and by 1992, there were eleven wonderful children. Always concerned with the education of their children, Peter and Louise were involved in the founding of Hawthorn School, a community that Peter was fully engaged with, right up until his death.

elevated QC8iK As their children grew up and started families of their own, Peter and Louise were overjoyed that many chose to establish their lives around the family home, developing a very close sense of community that he often referred to as the “Rebello Village”. 

elevated QC8iK Peter was a well respected presence in the building materials industry. His career spanned over four decades, and brought him all across Canada, where he developed deep and enduring friendships that lasted a lifetime. 

elevated QC8iK Peter’s faith was an ever-widening wave that touched larger and larger circles of the greater community. Whether he was criss-crossing the country or welcoming people into his home, he was always ready to share food, drink, music and warm conversation. He delighted in noticing a person’s needs and wants, and delighted more in being able to figure out how to move heaven and earth to be able to provide it. He cared deeply for the genuine happiness of each person, and took the time to listen and respond. His generosity was contagious. 

elevated QC8iK Peter’s spirit and legacy will live on in the countless friendships he made, the lessons he taught, and the family he so dearly nurtured. His was a life truly well-lived—one of love and faith.

elevated QC8iK He will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
