I am shocked to hear this! Had many good times with the Brooklyn Schooners and the Best Plumber I ever saw. He could fix any leak! Even if there was water in the pipes dripping from it. The hardest throw to first base by Peter was in my glove before the batter could even get close to first base!! He was part of our Nova Scotia Intermediate “A” Championship Team in 1980 and Eastern Canadian Championship Team in 1981!! All the best to Sandra and the rest of the Family! He will certainly be missed!!

Sandra, Damian and family : So sorry to hear of Peter’s fairly sudden passing. I just heard about his illness a few weeks ago and unfortunately did not get chance to visit him soon enough 🙁 . Peter was a great guy with a big heart and I’m sure you will miss him terribly. He certainly was a great employee and got me out of a few jams. We were able to share a few jokes along the way. That was the kind of guy he was.
I will try to make his funeral on Friday. Take care and God Bless
