    I had the pleasure of working along side Peter at Algonquin College for probably 10 years or so, I would often see him before the start of my class, I really enjoyed our chats. Peter was one of a kind, he was a joy to talk with, and I know he really loved teaching students all things electrical. I always considered Peter a friend. I will miss him.

    I also had the pleasure of working with Peter at Algonquin College. He brought passion and joy to his job and loved working with and passing his knowledge on to students. It was a real ‘pick me up’ to run into Peter at work. He had a very inquisitive mind and we could talk about many varied topics. Peter touched the lives of so many in a positive way! My condolences to his friends and family..

    Peter was the first person I met when I first started instructing at Algonquin College. He always had a smile and a funny comment.

    I looked forward to our wide-ranging conversations and hearing Peter’s opinions. He had a few! Most of all, I enjoyed hearing about his incredible career and how much he loved teaching. He was my friend and I miss him. My condolences to his family.
