Peter, Dad (Pops), Papa loved to spend his time out in Ponemah with his family and friends. He enjoyed music, gardening, working in his garage fixing things. He had a wonderful gift of laughter, always teasing and making people laugh. Helping people was something that he always found time to do. He never said no to someone in need. When our tears fall thinking of you not being with us we'll remember the times that you made each of us laugh, smile and wish we could do it again. We were greatly blessed to have you in our lives. Special thanks to all the staff at the St. Boniface Hospital.
