Peter John Bernard Bornhym
1930-2024
Peter John Bernard Bornhym, 93, passed away peacefully September 3rd,
2024.
Born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, he was the son of Peter John
Bernard and Henriette Geertrudia (Vos) Bornhym.
He is survived by his daughter Patricia Mary, Dartmouth; sister Iet
deWitte, Almere, brother Johannes (Hans) and sister in law Barbara
(Bep) Bornhym in Amsterdam.
He is pre-deceased by wife Helen Marina Wallace.
Dad was a Pastry Chef by trade. He immigrated to Canada in 1954 and
opened his own bakery in 1959 in Chatham, New Brunswick. He excelled
at whatever he put his hand to and had many hobbies. He loved his
vegetable garden and tended to it until the day he died. He walked
every day and was well known in his community of East River Point.
He was an excellent carpenter from building furniture pieces to
remodeling the inside of an old school house to become a family home.
He had his own painting business in Florida. The kitchen was his
happy place and he was always baking, cooking, canning or researching
new recipes and methods. For many years he had a small boat and
enjoyed being on the water fishing, swimming, or just bobbing along
reading a book. He wrote a 50 year autobiography plus two cookbooks
and was working on his third. Dad enjoyed talking to people and was
known for telling entertaining stories drawn from the events of his
life. At the age of 84 he began artistic painting with acrylics and
did not let a shattered humerus at the age of 87 stop him from
painting; he learned to paint with his other hand and his paintings
were as good and better. He had an exhibition of his works at Ross
Farm Museum shortly before he passed. He was a wonderful father and
will be dearly missed.
