In loving memory of Peter Blachford
April 28th, 1949 – April 21st, 2025
Peter passed away peacefully in Burlington on April 21st, surrounded by his loving family and his cherished dog, Brownie.
Born in North Bay to Mary and Arnold Blachford, Peter later moved to Toronto and eventually settled in Oakville. After earning his degree in Business at York University and completing his MBA, he applied his leadership talents across many fields, leaving a lasting impact wherever he went. Peter dedicated much of his career to the betterment of health care services. Many will fondly remember him for his contributions such as the planning, development and establishment of the 120 bed Chronic Care Unit (McCall Wing), creation of a permanent donor recognition program (The Tree of Life), as well as many other groundbreaking initiatives at Queensway General Hospital.
Peter will be fondly remembered for his love of music, his skillful guitar playing and his effortless grace whether on the ski slopes or the waters of Lake Rosseau. His warmth, wisdom and sense of humor touched the lives of many. His approach to life was to live every moment to its fullest.
He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife, Heather, and his children, Courtney (Stef), Lauren (Greg), Matthew, Derek (Chelsea), and Alysia, and a devoted brother to Pat (Brenda). He was the proud and loving grandfather to his grandchildren, Mason, Rachel, Riley, Daniel, Harry, Holden, and Jack and to his grand fur babies, Rosie and Pattie. His memory will be forever cherished by all who has the privilege of knowing him. A heartfelt thank you to our family physician, Mike Wong and for the wonderful care he received from the nursing staff from Acclaim Health.
A Celebration of Life will be held at SMITH’S FUNERAL HOME, 485 Brant Street, (one block north of City Hall), BURLINGTON (905-632-3333), on Tuesday, May 20th from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. There will be a moment of silence in his memory at 5:30 p.m. accompanied by a piper. If desired, memorial contributions to Pancreatic Cancer Canada would be sincerely appreciated by the family.
