Peter A. White
1966-2021
We are saddened to announce the loss of
our beloved Peter White, 54, of River
Hebert. Peter passed away March 14th, 2021 at the Queen Elizabeth II
Science Centre in Halifax surrounded by family and his best
friend.
Peter was born on May 18th, 1966 in
Amherst, Nova Scotia. He was the youngest child, and only son to
Harvey White, Amherst, NS and the late Alice (Burke)
White.
He graduated from River Hebert District
High School in 1986. Peter was a dedicated railroader alongside of
many family members with CNR. He began his employment in 1988 for
twenty-four years, until his retirement in 2012 due to
illness.
Peter was married to the love of his
life, Lisa (Linkletter), for over thirty-three years. They shared
their love and lives together. Peter’s greatest treasures in
life were his three children; his son Kyle (home), daughter Lacey
(Josh Best), Amherst, son Kirkland (home). He also leaves behind his
cherished father Harvey, Amherst, best friend Shaun McCallum, and dog
Bella.
He was a loving brother to his sisters
Sheila DiMichele (Art Gouchie), Sandra (Ron) Ruscitti, Nancy Burke
(Tim Coates), Debbie Doucette (Jim WIlliams), Margaret Wilson (Reggie
McLellan), all of Amherst. Sister in-law Debbie (Larry) Jollymore,
Elmsdale, and brother in-law Alan (Carol) Linkletter, River Hebert. He
also leaves behind several nieces and nephews, and many aunts and
uncles. Peter was predeceased by his mother Alice, father and mother
in-law Lester and Joan Linkletter, and brother in law David
Linkletter.
In his youth Peter loved playing many
sports including hockey, tennis and soccer. In his later years, Peter
enjoyed gardening and being competitive with others about whose crops
were more impressive. He was an avid coin collector, and would collect
and search for rare coins. Peter was a devoted fan of the television
show The Curse of Oak Island, so much that he traveled to and explored
Oak Island in 2019 with his wife and friends Sherry and Kevin. He also
enjoyed fishing, watching sports, watching television, playing cards,
biking, playing pool, going to concerts, hosting washer toss
tournaments and BBQ’s, spending time with family and
friends; especially his son Kyle, and hanging out in his « man
cave » that he was very proud of.
Peter will be remembered as a gentle,
loving and hard working person, who never complained about anything;
for his great sense of humour, amazing strength to battle anything
that life threw at him, and most importantly his
kind-heartedness.
