My sincerest condolences to the family. Although I never had the opportunity to sail with Peter and only made contact through the Canadian Naval Alumni pages, his dedication to the Navy and it's proud heritage was his mantra.
Rest peacefully Sailor, your watch is complete.

I never had the honour of sailing with Peter, although we who went to sea are all brothers. I met him on the FaceBook page and was always intrigued and often amused at some of the questions he would come up with. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to Helene and the rest of the family. RIP Sailor.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Peter. I knew him as a child and went to school with him. His mother was my secretary when I was out of University and she always spoke about him. He will be missed, he was a kind person and always made me laugh. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Rest peacefully now Peter, till we meet again.

My deepest condolences on Peter's passing. I enjoyed his posts on Facebook. He will be missed.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, my friend, Peter.
Gulf Stream Memories
J. Steel
Blow steady, you wind from the south west
Touch him with those memories of long ago
When your warm fingers tussled the waves
and placed glistening pearls upon my face
Blow steady, up from the islands
He can see the dipping of the gray steel deck
And picture the peacock-coloured spray
As it fans out from the plunging bow
Blow steady, up the Gulf Stream
His shirt fluttering at your touch
His hair gently tugged as he stands in to you
The whisper of his cap tally over his brow
Blow steady, as he grips the palm-warn helm
The darkened wheel house creaking to your playful sweep
The dimmed light from the canting compass
And muffled voices from the bridge
Blow steady, you friendly wind
Again he hears you sighing through the halyards
And sees you play with the navigator’s charts
As he plots our island passage
Blow steady, you wind from the south west
Engulf him for a moment in his past
Allow him a fleeting glance of a long-forgotten bow wave
That no land-friend has seen
Blow steady, my south west wind
Till he is but a memory
Condolences, Helene

It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye to Pete who I sailed with on the HMCS Mackenzie and later reunited on his Naval Almuni page. We travelled the seas and had great times together. There is a hole it my heart and I will dearly miss him, until we meet again, Love and Light to his family.

I am quite sure I echo many others of Peter's RCN family in saying that I am so very sorry for your loss.
Peter was a contemporary of mine in the RCN in the '80s, although I sailed out of Halifax and he out of Esquimalt (where I now live).
That said, I only knew him in e-form when he invited me to co-administer his Canadian Naval Alumni Facebook group (as well as some others he had). The warmth of his posts and his ideas about the alumni always really touched me; he was finding, in social media, a way to immortalize the experiences of those of us who had served in the peacetime Canadian navy of the '80s, before, and after.
On my 51st birthday I was in Ottawa on business and hooked up with Peter (for the first time) and Stephane Desbiens, a lovely man who had served with Peter. We had a great time. I was delighted to find a true kindred spirit - in terms of the navy and those memories, the role of Canada on the world stage, and the role of social media.
I've "served" with Peter on his FB group a few years now. He is a visionary of preservation - a sort of modern curator. I am so sorry to see his light extinguished. Memoriam eorum retinebimus. Requiscat in pace, amici mei.

I never met Peter but we had a lot in common. He welcomed me to his site Canadian Naval Alumni. As a former seaman I considered him a SHIPMATE. He will be sorly missed.
FAIR WINDS AND CALM SEAS MY FRIEND.
