PETER GERBRANDT
Born: Feb 18, 1925
Date of Passing: Jan 12, 2014
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryPETER GERBRANDT February 18, 1925 - January 12, 2014 A beautiful soul has left this earth to continue his journey. Left to deeply mourn Peter's passing are sons Bruce (Bonnie) and Jim (Nikki); grandchildren, Kris, Eric (Janina), Ian (Nicky) and Jodie (Eric); great-grandchildren Markus and Jake; as well as by his wife of 13 years, Gwyn, along with her family especially Debby (Terry), Alyse and Kelsey; brothers Albert (Hazel) and Ted (Tina); as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by many of his family members and as well by his first wife Nell who passed away in 1999. Peter was a gentle, hardworking, talented man. His strong hands built and repaired many things and yet were also capable of the fine stitches needed to produce a beautiful needlepoint. Peter worked at Eaton's in the paint department for many years until he retired. He made lifelong friends there and entertained his family and friends with many stories of his time spent as an "Eatonian". Travelling was one of Peter's passions. He visited Europe, made numerous trips to Hawaii and Mexico but his trip of a lifetime came when he and Gwyn travelled to Asia. He was so proud of his well-documented travels. We will deeply miss Peter's gregarious nature, bear hugs, and positive outlook. He set a fine example of a life well lived. A Celebration of Peter's Life will be held on Friday, January 17, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. in Westwood Community Church, 401 Westwood Drive. A private interment will take place at a later date. The family would like to thank the staff on the fifth floor at the Grace Hospital for their excellent care. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204-897-4665, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com
