He will always be remembered by many friends, including Bonnie and Brian Collie, the Owen Sound gang, Dwayne and Carm Coon, Marlean Fuller, Pam and Pete Malliett, Larry Breen and all his NENA friends, his sailing and canoeing buddies, his beloved fellow musicians to whom he was know as “Lemon Lime“ and his many colleagues at NRPS. In his earlier days Pete worked for the Ministry of Natural Resources at Bruce National Park near Tobermory, a place that holds a piece of his heart.
