He left the family farm as a young man working in lumber mills and several mines in Ontario. He finally settled in Toronto but came home often to visit relatives. Peter worked for the Toronto Transit Commission as an emergency trouble-shooter for 32 years. He was a proud and dedicated worker.

Upon retiring he did some extensive travelling which he thoroughly enjoyed and shared many of his experiences with family and friends. Due to failing health, Peter came back to Winnipeg to reside at the Tuxedo Villa Nursing Home where he spent almost five years close to many relatives.
