The children and family of Peter Ward, Pat, Bonnie, Wendy and Darcy regrettably announce the passing of their father, grand-father, great grand-father and great great grand-father on June 19th. Peter, in his 88th year, passed after a courageous battle with numerous illnesses which he fought with a determination and a brand of humour unique to him. Peter was predeceased by his loving wife of 66 years, Dolores (April 2016). A life-long resident of (Galt) Cambridge, Peter will be remembered as the jovial man with the handle-bar moustache and the engineer overalls at his antique store, Pete’s Corner and at the barn at Aberfoyle Antique Market. Peter loved his family, his pets, antique cars, his volunteer work and his hockey. He was inducted into the Cambridge Sports Hall of Fame with the Galt Hornets Sr. A Hockey team. Cremation has taken place. A “Celebration of Life” reception will be held at Coutts Funeral Home (96 St. Andrews St. Cambridge) on Tuesday, July 2, 2019 from 4 – 6 pm. The family of Peter would like to express their sincerest thanks to his home PD nurses and Dr. Vitou and her staff at the Grand River Hospital Kidney Dialysis Dept. – all were “Peter’s Angels”. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada would be appreciated.
