We both loved flowers, so send away if that is your wish. Charities Pete supported whole-heartedly include KidsAbility and Mennonite Central Committee. Contributions may be made at the funeral home www.erbgood.com or by calling 519-745-8445.
After study at Ontario College of Art, Toronto, Pete painted Waterloo County images for more than fifty years. He enjoyed his time at the easel and talking to his Old Order Mennonite friends and acquaintances, and was pleased to meet those who came to view his work and, especially, those who chose to hang it in their homes and businesses. Pete got especially energized while discussing commission paintings with the ordering executives. Some of those relationships went beyond strict business. He was overwhelmed by the community support he received and humbled by the community awards generously bestowed.
It was a charmed life, exactly suited to this gregarious man, highlighted by his sense of humour and interest in this world of ours. Travel expanded his horizons and sometimes destinations appeared in his paintings.
I feel fortunate to have been his partner in inventing a way of life. I will always miss his optimistic outlook which I have admired since I first laid eyes on him when I was thirteen. He will always be in my mind and heart.
Grateful thanks to Dr. Janet MacEachern and the Grand River Cancer Centre. All whom Pete met there interested him and made him many new friends – Susan, Dorothy, Julie and Corinna especially, and many others. I expect you know who you are. You did your best to conquer his leukemia but a cure is still pending.

Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Peter
