He married Mary Pauls in 1953, and together they enjoyed volunteer work and travel. Peter worked at various jobs, with his last 16 years employed by the Delta School Board. Predeceased by 3 brothers, he is mourned by Mary; children Linda Laurenson, Wes, Carolyn Pauls, Caroline Scheer, and Lois Peters; grandchildren; 1 brother. The funeral service was Aug. 18 at Bakerview MB Church, Abbotsford.
