In the words of Pete's father Ken, "Pete did not live only 27
years. He lived 9,946 days and every one to the fullest!" Somehow
this number is both more palatable and more appropriate when
speaking of Pete's life.
Pete was born at Toronto General Hospital, weighing in at a larger-than-life
11 pounds, 10 ounces. From that day forward, "larger-than-life"
was an apt description -- physically and otherwise. Pete grew
up, along with brother Jeff, in a household that loved competition,
outdoor activity, a good challenge, the odd healthy debate and,
most of all, each other. The family went back and forth from
Toronto to Collingwood, Ontario, to enjoy the best of both areas,
depending on the season and the opportunity. His parents, Ken
and Judy, loved watching their sons excel and gave them every
opportunity to do so.
Pete was on skis at the age of 3 at Osler Bluff Ski Club, had
a golf club in his hand by 5, and was windsurfing by 6. He took
all three sports to incredible heights. He enjoyed and excelled
at so much in life, yet did not seem to need or seek recognition.
His low-key manner and his quiet confidence kept everyone at
ease and drew people to him.
In skiing, Pete was a member of the Ontario Ski Team, competing
nationally and internationally in the NorAm Race Series, the
U.S.A. Junior Championships and the World University Games. He
won several championships and had a natural gift on snow. He
also became a scratch golfer and loved to take on Friends and
family.
Perhaps his greatest passion, however, was windsurfing. He found
every excuse he could to hit the surf on Georgian Bay, but his
sense of adventure took him to beaches all over the world, including
the southwest coast of Australia, Maui, the Colombian River Gorge
in Oregon and Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. In the words of
one of his lifelong Friends, "Pete loved life and life loved
him right back!"
Pete was a generous, loyal and reliable friend who developed
strong and lasting relationships at every phase of life: his
youthful years of sports, competition and family; his fun and
challenges at the National Ski Academy; his university years
at Laurentian University and the University of Guelph (B.A. in
Economics); his career launch at Nesbitt Burns; and his last
several years at C.B. Richard Ellis where he was in commercial
real-estate investment sales. At every turn he met with success
with his long graceful stride and disarming smile.
It was going to be fun just to sit back and watch him perform
in the decades ahead.
Looking through the family photo albums Pete had a mischievous
smile and a sense of adventure in every picture. In virtually
every snapshot either something spectacular had just happened,
or it was about to happen. He was always surrounded by Friends
and family as his easygoing style and sense of fun were infectious.
His determination to improve and grow were never overt but always
present. The results speak for themselves. As one good friend
suggested: "Men wanted to be like Pete. Women wanted to be with
him." More than 1,500 people attended his funeral.
Pete was quite simply a great human being who would have continued
to win in his unpretentious manner and contribute on a kind-spirited
and decent level to any situation. We are among his many Friends
who have been brought together because of this fine person and
who have had the good fortune of sharing a small piece of Pete's
life -- all 9,946 days of it.
Josh, Bryce, Blake, Adam, Rob and Ian are Friends of Pete's.

the amazing ability to recall historical facts and to quote ''The
English Masters''.

And one clear call for me!

When I put out to sea...''
