We will miss Peter, we had so many fun times toghether.
Still laughing and telling your jokes Peter, and remember, there will always be an England as long as Scotland holds her hand.

My deepest condolences to you Carol, family and friends. ❤❤

Peter was one of a kind. A true friend. My most memorable time was running into Peter and Carol in PV Mexico at their favororite hangout, a little bar in the center of a little market. ❤❤

RISP My friend until we meet again. You will be missed by all.

Dear Matthews family
I am so sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. What a lovely man he was!
I knew Peter from Capilano U where he would frequently visit my office, look to make sure no one could overhear, and then tell me jokes both terribly risqué but also terribly funny!  He came to my home several times to paint and spruce us up as well as the apartment of my sister-in-law. 
I think if him often as I look around to see both the fruits of his work and the benefit of his advice. 
Please accept my condolences. As I said before, a really lovely guy

Peter was a wonderful person.  I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside of him and benefiting from his insightful and extensive knowledge of our trade, going back to his earlier years in England. 
I always enjoyed his return from vacation in Mexico with Carol and his stories of how delightful  the trip had been.
 If your day was going a bit amiss, a few moments talking to Peter was always uplifting. Customarily I would see him at the beginning of my day at work. On one occasion as I approached him he had his back to me, then suddenly spun around wearing a pair of crazy coloured eyeglasses with psychedelic lenses that he had picked up at the Dollar Store for a quick laugh. He said he could put them to good use when assisting the staff trying to make a decision on a colour for their office. His humour was remarkable. I will miss him a lot. My deep condolences to Carol and family.


Cam just put found this photo from several years back. This is the infamous tequila bar!  Just look at Peter’s tan!  Ingrid & Cam W.

We were so sad to hear of Peter’s passing. He was a true gentleman who always made a bad day better.  I’ll always remember how Peter (and Eamonn) would visit me in Media Resources when I first started at CapU in 2001 (I worked a night shift) and many times gave me a ride to my car at night if I was parked far away.  (Both) so very caring.  I also remember when Cam and I looked for Peter (and Carol) in their Puerto Vallarta hotel but they were out. About an hour later, Peter called out to Cam from inside a little shopping square where he liked to hang out with a local tequila maker.  We bought some of that delicious tequila and to this day we still have a bit left.  We will be having a toast to Peter with it!  Rest In Peace Peter, and to Carol and your family, (our) deepest condolences. Ingrid & Cam Williams

Pictured is a brief moment of happy memories of the Four Musketeers at our December 2017 Xmas gathering.  Peter would always say he was not the wealthiest person in the room BUT based on his sense of honor, integrity, and fair play he could always look himself in the mirror and was good with what he saw.  His integrity and honor were never up for sale which tended to frustrate those who did not understand this concept.  Peter will be missed for this exceptional character and his all-around good nature as a down to earth fellow human being.  Peter has now gone down a different path, but we will all again rejoin this special pathway at our appropriate time.  It was truly a pleasure to have known Peter for the short period of his life we shared together.  Rest in peace my friend!  Francois Arnaly

Peter  has a special place in my heart. He was always smiling and always a gentleman. I liked working with Peter because he was always quick with a joke or a feel good story. He lifted my spirits. He called me sweetheart. When he gave me a hug, I could smell his cologne for hours afterwards. Rip buddy.
