Posted on: Thursday, October 17, 2024I had the privilege of knowing Peter for nearly 50 years. He used to come up to our farm all the time. Peter often helped us with the hay crop and did relief milking for us. He was a great friend and like a big brother to me. I made Peter many cups of coffee at the farm and he always enjoyed my baking. He was such a great guy and would do anything for anyone in need. I’m really going to miss Peter. May He rest easy. My condolences to Tanya and Tom and their families.
