It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving father Peter Schatz.
He passed away peacefully on December 21, 2021 at the age of 94.
Son of Frank and Christina Schatz, Peter was born and raised in Holdfast, Saskatchewan. He was the 4th of 13 children. At 18 years of age, during the depression, Peter left the farm and headed to Vancouver to look for work.
Peter took on many jobs but the majority of his working life was as Parts Manager at Carter GM where he was recognized and rewarded for his contributions.
Peter had stories to tell, made friends easily, and would often strike up conversations with strangers. He was always there to lend a hand and help others in need.
The center of Peter’s world was his family. He has gone to rejoin Bernice, his wife of almost 50 years. Peter will be sadly missed by his son Bill Schatz (Sarah), daughter Anne Meyer (Stephen), granddaughters Laura and Jennifer Schatz, grandson Matthew Meyer, and by a close-knit family of brothers and sisters, nieces, and nephews.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am (PST) Wednesday, January 12, 2022 at Immaculate Conception Parish at 3778 West 28th Avenue, Vancouver BC. Interment to follow at Gardens of Gethsemani at 15800 32nd Ave, Surrey BC.
