It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Peter Hensel just one day after his 85th birthday at Chatham Hospice. He leaves behind his wife and best friend of 60 years, Joyce (nee Dierckens). Peter was the proud and loving father of the late Angela Marie (1965), Peter Jr (Jen), John (Christine) and Jodie (Thomas Rolph). He was the grandfather to 7 grandchildren and several great grandchildren.
Peter was born to the late Elizabeth (nee Mohr, 1981) and John (1960).
He shared memories with his silbings, the late Rosie (2022), John, and the late Elisabeth (1985).
He was known to many, particularly in the agriculture and golf community, and was a member of the Knights of Columbus since 1963.
The family wishes to acknowledge the extreme kindness from the staff at the Chatham and Wallaceburg hospitals, particularly in the ER and continuous care unit and at the Chatham Kent hospice. The compassion they gave was much appreciated by us.
A private memorial service will be held for the family.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Chatham Kent Hospice or Knights of Columbus 2102.
