June, I know your Heart is Broken. May you, Lily and Lincoln find comfort in All the ways Peter Cherised each of you. Harriet and Mary
Goodbye uncle Pete. I could not have been named for a kinder more fascinating man. Who else would not only decide on a whim that his 16 year old nephew needed to learn to drive a stick but volunteer his new BMW for the job and not even wince when i ground the gears. I am truly going to miss being "Little Pete" Thank you for bringing June, Lilly, and Lincoln into our family and into our lives. Sarah, Damien and I wish them all the strength, love, and compassion we can in dealing with their loss.
My deepest sympathy as I have just read this very sad news. My sympathy to his brother and his sister, and to his family in Texas and Ontario. Peter was a wonderful, fun and caring man. We had recently reconnected over the past 2 years, over the internet, and he helped me and inspired me thru the loss of my father. I am just reading this sad news as my computer was broken for the past 5 months and has just recently been replaced….and I was wondering re Peter. So I apologize for this very late note of sympathy. Frankly I am stunned, and I am saddened. I knew Peter in our days at Queen's, and yes he was the "life of the party" when I first met up with him. My deepest sympathy to his loving family. Sincerely, Trish Hunter (Montreal Quebec)
Peter was my friend and fellow sales trainer. We had a lot of laughs and great chats. He was always upbeat, helpful and loved, loved, loved his children. Peter was kind of a big kid which made him lovable to all. "Elf" comes to mind when I think of him. He would regularly send me pics of himself in costumes with his kids. Telling me stories of camping in his house. I think there was a bonfire? In the years I knew him, he went through a lot personally and showed great personal courage and an open heart throughout. I am truly saddened by his passing.
Dear June, Lily, Lincoln and the Dales and Cudmore Families, I am so sadden by the news of Peter's death. My condolences to you all during this difficult time. I knew Peter from when he lived in Ottawa. He was a fun, adventuresome friend with a great sense of humour. I have some great memories of Peter when we experienced our first XC skiing winter camping trip in a lean-to at below minus 20 degrees celsius (-4 F) without all the proper equipment. We survived the cold night with a great hot fire and some delicious steaks. We met other campers who enjoyed our bacon breakfast in exchange for getting the fire going in the morning. On another trip, we set sail from Deseronto to Kingston (Ontario) and back with some friends, a blow-up dinosaur as a mascot and an ice cream cake for Pete's birthday that we drank through straws. Peter was the life of the party! Over the years, I would occasionally hear from him. He always made me laugh with his stories. He so loved his family and was very proud of his children. My thoughts are with you all. Jean Mullan (Ottawa)
Sad news about Peter. "I still have the pen knife you gave me during a sale training." Rest in peace. Deepest condolences for all family and friends.

June, Lily and Lincoln, Our heart is so very broken for you over the loss of Peter. How I so loved to sit with him at the games and talk. I can't remember a time he didn't offer to get me something during halftime. The last time I saw him, he was asking me about Jake's health and you could just see the sincerity in his eyes. A true, rare quality he had in a world that often moves too fast. May you find peace in knowing what a tremendous heart and soul he shared with those he encountered. All our love, Mitzi, Jake and Luke Patin

To all of the Dales family, We were so very sorry to hear of Peter's sudden passing. We hadn't seen him often in recent years, but go back a long time – to elementary school days in North Bay. We are thinking of you all at this sad time, with love. Laurie and Steve Wilbur, Sarasota, Florida
