January 21, 1936 - January 13, 2025
In Loving Memory ~
Pete was born at the old St. Joseph's hospital in Victoria BC. He grew up on the family dairy farm at the end of Hartl road in Shawnigan Lake. He worked in the forest industry-driving logging trucks on the island and in logging camps on the coast of BC.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman who loved the outdoors and all wildlife. So much so, he and Hellen could be found feeding the eagles near their home every morning.
Pre-deceased by his daughter Sheila, his parents Frank and Jean, brothers Glen and Robert (Bob).
Pete is survived by his wife Hellen of over 50 years and his daughters: Susan (Kevin) Gates; Donna (Wayne) Relke; Cheryl (Doug) Erickson and stepchildren, Glen Armella and Shelley Armella-Taylor, and all his numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He loved us with all of his heart, and we with all of ours.
We would like to thank Dr. Jan Malherbe and Gisela Wenzel-Smith for all of their care and compassion for Pete and his family.
We would also like to thank Kevin from Evergreen, for all of his help and compassion during this difficult time.
Pete left this world surrounded by the love of his family, who will miss him very much.
