Peter Siaw Hong Loh

He is survived by his sons Daniel, Robert, Leslie, and Jesse; his children's mother Ivy Kong, grandchildren Bennett, Orson, Christianne; and siblings Elizabeth Loh Siaw Khim, Cynthia Chua Hui Kee, Agnes Loh Siaw Kiang, Loh Siaw Kiat, Angela Lo Siaw Leng, Loh Siaw Fui. He will also be forever remembered by his nieces, nephews, extended family and dear friends.

Peter was born in Kuching, Malaysia in 1948, and completed his secondary education at St Joseph’s School. He went on to study in London, UK, to earn his diploma in Land Use Control at the North East London Polytechnic. He also officially became a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, a global professional association, before returning to Kuching to work in the Malaysian Government Ministry as a Valuer.

He had started his family in London, and continued to grow it upon his return to Malaysia. He immigrated his entire family to Calgary in 1981 and worked as a Land Surveyor and Appraiser for decades with the Alberta provincial government. Aside from being a dedicated worker, Peter was also a dedicated family man and made sure he could provide for his family and give them a better future.

Further to that, the household he took care of often included extended family members that immigrated from Malaysia as well. Peter loved traveling to connect with family, extended family, friends, ex-colleagues, ex-classmates on a regular basis. Trips outdoors to the local mountains, or road trips to neighbouring provinces and states, or overseas trips back to Malaysia with his sons were a common occurrence. When he traveled somewhere, he would make an effort to meet someone he knew there and catch up.

Peter loved to golf even more and regularly enjoyed a round with his friends all the while trying to constantly improve his strokes. Peter will be remembered for his tireless ability to reach out to people he knew, no matter how distant, and will be missed for his genuinely pleasant chats that always came from his heart.
