Peter Wood Ph.D. Hon.D.Sc. 1943 – 2010 It is with great sadness that Sue, David (Keila), Tim and Katrina tell you of the death of Peter, their dearly loved and loving husband, father and Katrina's dear Papa Pete; cherished brother, brother-in-law, cousin, uncle, friend and colleague. Peter emigrated from the U.K. in 1969 to work as a research scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada only fully retiring this year. Peter's work has contributed to the recognition that soluble oat fibre can reduce cholesterol and have other health benefits. Peter dealt with illness, as he lived all aspects of life, with grace, courage and humour. The family want to thank Dr. Bonnie McCarron and the nurses and staff of The Grand River Hospital and Cancer Centre for their compassionate care over the last eighteen months. We would also like to thank Lorna Warwick of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for her support. You are invited to gather at the Gilbert MacIntye and Son Funeral Home, Hart Chapel,1099 Gordon Street, Guelph at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 4th to remember Peter and honour his life and work. If you would like to make a donation in memory of Peter the family suggests: The Terry Fox Foundation; www.terryfox.org, The Leukemia Lymphoma Society of Canada: www.llscanada.org, The Canadian Golden Retriever Adoption Service Inc. www.golden-rescue.net The last suggestion is Tucker's pick. (cards are available at the funeral home 519-821-5077 or send condolences at www.gilbertmacintyreandson.com).
