Peter grew up on a dairy farm in Yarrow, BC, and graduated from UBC medical school in 1959. He was a devoted family physician for 46 years at Burnaby General Hospital and was much loved by his patients. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his family. He also enjoyed travelling, which included medical mission work, and in retirement spent countless hours working on his hobby farm in his home town of Yarrow.

Peter loved Psalm 23 and knew the Lord Jesus as his personal Shepherd; he always encouraged his family to follow in the Christian faith.
