About 40 friends, relatives and old buddies gathered on March 19, 2011, at the Canyon Creek eatery on Front St. in Toronto, to wish Peter farewell and to trade stories. As usual, such gatherings are bitter-sweet. We all miss the big guy but it was great seeing old friends after a decade or two.
Some pictures follow.

Happy Birthday Bro.
The whole gang is coming o Rupert next weekend to have a music party. We'll be thinking of you. (I'll be sure there aren't any wayward boards lying around for you - or anyone - to trip over and inadvertently piss yourself.)
Loved how you were able to laugh at yourself in those moments.
Hey, did you get wind of the wonderful news that Lauren and Mack are engaged? Pretty cool!
I know I'm going to feel you, Dad and Mom here next weekend. I like that.
Love ya.
Linda
