Also mourning him are nieces, Andrea, Jennifer and Alexa; nephews, David, Joshua and Ben. Great-nieces, Nicole, Isla and Ryker; and great- nephew Charlie.

Hey Peter Rabbit; I imagine you're looking down on all of us from afar so you must already know I'll be seeing your older brother week after next. we will toast our memories together, back through thru grades 3,4,5,6,7&8 at SJR; 9 at Churchill and 10&11 at Kelvin. Hopefully, I will see you on the other side and we'll get back to gymnastics, hockey and other important things. BTW, Richard Renshaw passed on July 15th so keep an eye out for him & say Hi for me.

I knew Peter when I was younger and have lost touch throughout the years but always remember how funny and kind he was. Everytime time we go together was an adventure and lots of fun. I will miss him and his smile. He was a gentle soul. - Posted by: Shawnee Scatliff (friends) on: Aug 05, 2015
