So sad to here this. Pete was a fun guy to be around. I was hopping he was doing better as he was asking about the race coming up at Top end raceway. Was really hoping to get to see him.
Rest in peace Pet you will be missed by all. |

Also sorry to hear that. I never personally met Peter but being a former Manitoba resident I know people that were good friends with him and he sounded like a great guy. It did seem like he was doing better but Cancer is an ugly deal. Condolances to his family and friends.

Sad news indeed John. Peter was such a unique and special person. He always had another angle on things. You might talk about five things you wanted to try; Peter had already tried them. If you wanted to go 55 mph while standing still, Peter did that too (don't ask - John knows). Oh the stories!! Pete didn't have enough time to tell them all here, but now he does and I know everyone up there is already laughing. Good place to be, eh?
Everything is a win light now good buddy. Peace. Jerry |

I had the good fortune to meet Peter a few years ago at castrol raceway in edmonton, a very unique individual, lots a stories shared. Sad to hear this news too many racers leaving us. Godspeed Peter.

He was very inspirational to a long haired punk kid in the '80's who wanted to race in Stock with the big boys, and one of the very few to not laugh, but to actually help and give advice, when I decided to do it with a new fangled EFI car. It just won't be the same now. |
