Loving father of Wayne (wife Carmen), Lorne, Eric "Joe" (wife Debra), Peter (wife Sue) and Bob (wife Dianne). Proud grandfather of 10 and great-grandfather of three. Also survived by his sister Shirley. Peter was predeceased by his loving wife Alma, his son John, his brother George, and parents Alice and George Clarke. A veteran of World War II, Peter served in the Royal Canadian Air Forces as a pilot, flying a Lancaster Bomber. He enlisted in 1942 at the age of 21 and served in England until December 1945. An Ontario Land Surveyor for most of his adult life, Peter was an active member, and past president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #599. He will be remembered for his zest for life, love of golf, his sense of humor and his will to help anyone in need. Peter also volunteered at Nipissing Manor and often spoke of his joy in doing so, stating that he volunteered but also made friends in doing so. Peter will be missed by his family and great many friends. Visitation and services will be held in the MARTYN FUNERAL HOME (across from City Hall). Arrangements are incomplete.
