Peter was on of my father's (Al Hintz) oldest and dearest friends. They began their CN careers together in Mikado SK training under Peter's brother Louis. Peter was indirectly responsible for my parents getting together. Peter and my Dad were to meet in Yorkton to attend a hockey game, when Peter had to work overtime. Dad met my mother and took her to a movie instead for their first date! We lost my father last June. On behalf of my father, I extend my deepest sympathies to the family. Rest in Peace Peter. - Posted by: Rod Hintz (son of a friend) on: Feb 14, 2026
