Peter loved his family dearly and unconditionally. At a moments notice he was willing to help with anything that was asked of him. He now walks with Clancy and Leonelle, his fur babies. In his time of arriving in Sault Ste. Marie, he had worked as a logger, aside his brothers and then forged his way into the trades. He was gifted in the trades and revered by his co-workers and fellow union brothers not only as a foreman but a trailblazer in the Sheet Metal and Iron Workers Union. He believed in solidarity and the movement of the unions. He was also an entrepreneur who proudly owned Fascina Bros. Contracting. He had diverse knowledge in all areas of construction. He was a persistent man that made him a master of all his endeavors. He will be extremely missed, his strong hands that always fixed the problem, his everlasting love for us and the countless memories he made with us will carry us forward. It's not goodbye, its until we meet again. Papa we love you!
