Palisade Drive Neighbours

Peter, Clare and Cathy.

Peter and Clare were our neighbors on Palisade Drive for 43 years. They were our example of perfect neighbors,never obtrusive, always helpful ,friendly and caring. We lived side by side all those years in complete harmony. Being in the car business, combined with Peter's generous nature was helpful to us.When John went back to U.B.C to take his M.B.A.We had one car,and three small children.Peter phoned and said he had a '63 Chev for a good price that he thought we could use. When John finished two years later, Peter bought it back for the same price!

We also able to buy a Chevelle, that Clare was trading for a newer one. We drove that car for many years and and so did our three  children. When our son was in the market for  his first car,Peter was able to suggest a suitable one. He also was instrumental in providing a summer job  at Dueck  for that same son. 

Peter and John had many backyard neighborly conversations. In later years Peter would be on his deck and John would be below, in our yard and they would have to shout back and forth! 

We were always impressed that Peter was  able to remain on Palisde Drive, and have been full of admiration for the way that Dianne has cared for both her parents. Our whole family will remember them with love,respect and good memories. Good peaceful rest, Peter.
