Our family is deeply saddened by the loss of Peter. We extend our deepest condolences to Jane, DJ and Siblings and their respective families. Also, to brothers Ted and John as they have endured the loss of numerous family members in recent years. We share your loss and keep you close in our hearts. Both Peter and John were fellow successful Dealers of the General Motors dealerships our fathers founded. The Newmarket dealership (Dwight-1957) and the Grimsby dealership (Robert-1955), enjoyed a wonderful business relationship that spanned over 50 years. As the sons took over, we continued to enjoy that successful relationship well into the 2nd generation. Even during times of adversity and disappointment with GM, we stood together. We are proud to have shared that common bond not only as businessmen, but also as family. Peter will always be remembered for his forthright and accommodating style of doing business. We will miss him dearly.
Robert, Marlene and Family
