As a proudly retired OC Transpo employee, Peter will be remembered for his joy and commitment to being an outstanding bus driver for the city of Ottawa. Peter had a presence like no other, he loved to be the life of the party, and he was always smiling and laughing and having a good time.

His distinctive witty humor and incredible spirit for life will live on through everyone who was blessed enough to know him.
