Peter was a special and caring gentleman, he was a very sociable, independent and well known for his art.  He enjoyed the littlest things life had to offer such as laughing, smiling, sharing, and giving of anything he could share or give.  He was a selfless gentle soul.

Meta our aunty played a huge part in Peter’s life raising him from a little boy to the man he had become.  Peter loved his son Jonah who made him the happiest father.  He enjoyed his days when with his son teaching, sharing and giving Jonah his undivided attention.  The street family of Winnipeg Main Street taught him how to be the survivor he was.
