He married Dorothy Ayling on March 22, 1951. In 1955, Peter started with the Powell River News before moving on to the Medicine Hat News in 1963. He retired as the Editor in 1993, moving to Surrey, B.C. to enjoy his retirement. While in Medicine Hat, Peter was always an active member of the community. He was involved with many sports groups including the Senior Hockey League, Medicine Hat Oldtimers Hockey and the Medicine Hat Golf and Country Club. Peter participated in numerous fundraisers over the years, but he was most proud of his achievement in being the founder of the Medicine Hat News Santa Claus Fund. Peter enjoyed time spent gardening, golfing, bowling and playing cards but especially enjoyed travelling. He experienced much of the world including Cuba, New Zealand, Portugal, Denmark, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Thailand along with annual trips to Vegas and Havasu. His memory will live on within the hearts of all those whose lives he touched. At Pete’s request, no formal service will be held.
