Peter enjoyed doing a variety of things during his free time including, driving uber & taxi as well as caring for the upkeep of fish aquariums, and feeding the fish at local retirement homes throughout Sarnia. He also enjoyed completing puzzles on the computer and traveling with his wife Betty. One of Peters favourite hobbies were to play and watch golf. One of Peters wishes was to complete The Amazing Race Canada with his granddaughter PITA (Tiona) but never did have the opportunity to do so. Peter was well known for his one liner and hilarious smart a** personality. Anyone would talk to him and think he was the most hilarious person with his unique personality. He would light up a room with his silly sense of humour!
A huge thank you to Dr Kim, Dr Lilly, the medicine floor nurses and Dr’s. A very special thank you to the Sarnia Hospice, at Blue Water Health Hospital, for their compassionate care during Peter’s short time there. The family appreciates the love and support they provided to Peter and his family during his final moments. They did everything possible to keep Peter and his loved ones comfortable during his short stay with them. One of Peter’s one liners was “Once you hit rock bottom, there’s only one way and that’s UP!”
As per Peter’s wishes, cremation will follow. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Sarnia Hospice may be left at the funeral home. Online condolences may be left at www.ericfnichollsfuneralhome.com.
