La célébration de
Peter Gundel
20 avril 1954 –
11 novembre 2019
It is with heavy hearts that on Monday, November 11, 2019, Peter in his 65th year passed away in the comfort of his home in Hamilton. Cherished husband to Joanne Gundel, loving father to Hilary (Aaron) and Eric (Melissa), dearest brother to Fred (Johanna), and uncle to Melissa. He will be dearly missed by his sisters-in-law Susan, and by Kathy together with her husband John Sr and their three children Holly, John Jr, and Robyn. Brother-in-law to Bill, Paul and Brian Merritt. Loved and missed by his brothers in friendship Barry Hashimoto, Mitch Hill, and Sam Borsellino. Treasured by his coffee club friends Steve and Toni Birus, Joan Heyerichs, Mark Rogers, Al and Shirley Bogash. Dear friend to Mark Mansfield with whom Peter shared many Sundays enjoying a car ride and a pipe smoke.
Peter was a respected Dofasco retiree after 37 years of service. He spent most of his career like he did his personal life, a leader to those around him. He had a subtle brilliance that was matched only by his humility and humor. He had a passion for music, he was the drummer in a band, a trivia master, a questionable golf player, a surprisingly decent fisherman, a black belt in pipe smoking, an Olympic level coffee drinker, an avid car enthusiast, a popcorn connoisseur, and a devoted volunteer to VON Meals on Wheels program. He made sure to smile every day and made it his mission to pass that smile on to others. Above all else Peter loved his wife and family. He passed away On Veterans Day, and although he was not a soldier, he was our everyday hero.
A visitation will take place at Bay Gardens Funeral Home – « William J. Markey Chapel », 947 Rymal Road East, HAMILTON (905.574.0405) on Saturday, November 16, 2019 from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm and from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
