To the family,

We extend our condolences to all of you in your loss. May your memories of Peter keep him close in your thoughts. Thinking of you at this sad time.

With sympathy and love, Gordon & Joyce Jackson

So sorry to read this. Deep condolences to you and family for your loss. Peter was a great schoolmate for many years in The Valley. He will be greatly missed and remembered.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Peter. Such a great guy and dedicated family man. Used to love our trips to the Atlantic Folk Festival back in the day. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes reading all available on this site about Peter. My condolences to all the family. The Whalley house was like a second home for me growing up in Clarence and I have such fond memories of those times.

Dear Lori, Trevor and Nicole,

I am so sad to hear the passing of Peter. Being neighbours for many years we all had a good friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Peter is probably having a nice cold beer now:)

Dear Lori and family

I am deeply sad to hear the passing of Peter. Such a shock to learn this news. You’ve been in my thoughts and prayers and hope that family and friends are close by to give you comfort.

I clearly remember the night we introduced you and Peter to each other. Do you remember that night in the kitchen at Linda’s place? Maybe I was living there too? Some things are blur back in our 20s but the night you guys met is not! You were both smitten! I am happy to hear you’ve had 37 wonderful years together. My condolences to you and your family.

Warm hugs from Fernie

Dear Lori, Trevor, and Nicole,

I am so incredibly sorry to hear of the passing of Peter. My deepest condolences to you. Growing up as neighbours, Peter’s friendliness, kindness, and helpfulness never went unnoticed. He seemed to have such a love for his family and was so proud of you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

To the Whalley family, my deepest condolences on the passing of your husband and dad.

I had the pleasure of meeting Peter on the annual golf pilgrimage to Kokanee Springs. As is usual on this trip everyone shares news and stories, since most of us only see each other on this annual trip. I thoroughly enjoyed playing golf with him and hearing stories about the other East Coasters and their many adventures as they landed in Calgary and built their lives around family and friends, I know from our chats that family was most important to him.

I will always remember Peter’s love for his family and friends, his easygoing nature, his love of golf, and his beaming smile.

Although I am out of the province, please know I will be thinking of Peter this afternoon during the celebration of his life.

With Sympathy

To Lori, Trevor and Nicole

We know this past week has been tough for you. Your husband and dad was quite a guy. From the first time I met him at Acadia we just seemed to bond along with a rag tag of other great guys. From our fun times at Acadia to our new adventures in Calgary , we seemed to always have laughs and good times. Peter was always head chef to us guys and we waited patiently while he put together another great meal. Not sure if he told you that we duck and goose hunted near Strathmore for 2 seasons at what we thought was a great spot only to find out we were on reservation land ! Woops !Peter was always the calming influence that we all needed at times with great common sense. Our buddy couldn’t take his eyes off this Lori gal he told us about and the rest is history. We will miss seeing him on his Nova Scotia visits and our chats on the deck. It was great to get the Cochrane and Whalley clans together.

We will all miss that smiling face and sense of humour .

Our deepest condolences

We were very sad to hear the news about Peter's passing and we would like to extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to Lori, Nicole, Trevor and the extended family.

Our friend Peter was a proud maritimer and a shining example of the kind of people that are raised in Nova Scotia. That is undoubtedly where he got his great sense of humour and his love of music!

In addition to being a talented hockey player, Peter also loved to golf, and my wife Deb and I were able to enjoy a number of rounds with both Pete & Lori.

Over the last few years, we all got the RV'ing bug, and we had some memorable trips to the Cranbrook area.

Peter will especially be missed around both the Crowchild and Thorncliff hockey rinks, and at the Canals of Delacour and St. Eugene golf courses.

We very much regret that we won't be home from Europe in time to make it to the celebration of his life on the 29th. We will definitely be there in spirit.

Lori, Trevor, and Nicole, we are so sad at the news of Peter's passing. He was always such a positive person and all around great guy. Definitely one of the best!

Over the years, our families lives have intersected through hockey, both at the dad and son level as both Peter and I played in the Tuesday night Oldtimers league, and Trevor and Andy also played hockey together in Crowchild and the Northwest Hockey Association. We also met up through dance as Nicole and Sarah danced at Premiere, and Sarah taught Nicole at one point as they progressed through the school. As hockey and dance moms and dads, Lori and Susan,and Peter and I shared many cold arenas and the craziness of dance competitions along the way!

It seemed inevitable that, after the kids were grown and not in need of being taxi'd back and forth, a group of the hockey dads would end up playing golf together. This has been a lasting association, but just in the past number of months Peter and I would meet to plan additional golf dates. With Peter recently retired, and my sort-of-semi-retirement we felt that we needed more golf and a little less free time. These plans really never came to fruition, however, they did result in some meet ups for coffee, (maybe a treat) and good conversations at the local Good Earth. It was nice to have those times and talks together during what was to be his last few months.

We will remember Peter, and all of you, in our hearts and in our prayers.

On behalf of the buffs mens hockey team I would like the Whalley family to know that we share in their sadness and grief after the passing of Pete. As we say in the dressing room at our age “it ain’t all about the hockey “. Pete was a huge part of our off ice comoradarie. Pete was a well liked member of our group who was always quick with a smile or laugh or a memorable maritimer story. While I always loved hearing his college stories the conversation would invariably turn to him talking about his family. It was obvious to me that Pete loved his family very much and was very proud of them. A true family man. Pete was a good man and he Wiil be missed by all of us that had the opportunity to get to know him.

I am shocked and saddened by the passing of Peter. Our deepest sympathy and condolences for Lori, Trevor and Nicole, realizing this loss must be unimaginable and painful.

I worked with Peter at RBC when I was starting out as a loans officer. He was such pleasure to work with as he was always calm,

kind and gentle.I will never forget his smile, and ability to laugh in the most difficult situations.

Rest in Peace, Peter. You made a positive impact on this earth that will be felt for years to come. I am sure the memories he made with his loved ones will be called upon forever.

Heartfelt condolences to the Whalley family on the passing of Pete. On behalf of tuesday nite "Coaches" hockey, i can tell you that Pete was extremely well liked and respected by all the guys he played hockey with for so many years. He was a gentleman on the ice and would happily engage with anyone in the typical post-game banter, accompanied by a frosty beverage or two.

On a personal note, i fondly recall dog walking with Pete, where we would typically solve the world's problems. Those walks would always end up back at my house where Sonny was always keen to gain entry to the yard to eat fallen apples, which inevitably resulted in a few laughs for both Pete and I.

Pete was a great guy and he will be missed by his hockey buddies.

My sincere condolences to the Whalley family. I am shocked and greatly saddened to learn of Peter's passing. Peter was a great "Kokanee Springs" friend of mine. His kind, caring and calm manner made him easy to be around and easy to like and call a friend. I remember one year when there were only a few of us in attendance (Covid I think) that we nicknamed Peter "Magilla" for his gorilla like drives. Never boastful for outdriving the lot of us by a mile, he would just smile and say something like "Yeah, that one was okay." and then in turn complement each of us on our meagre hits. The thing is that he was sincere in his comments and just made you feel good. I will miss him a lot at Kokanee but never forget him.

Sincerest condolences to the Whalley family on the loss of your, Though I only knew Peter for a short time, He was very welcoming to me and made me feel part of the special friends he has. My thought and prayers are with you and your family,

Dear Lori, When we met you and Peter the first time, we knew you were both such genuine people. A quick smile, a great handshake, which turned into a warm hug as we got to know you both. We always looked forward to seeing you. We are so sorry for the loss of Peter. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerest condolences to the Whalley family on the loss of your beloved Brother, Husband, and Father.

Peter was a wonderful person who will never be forgotten. He had a way to make you feel so welcome

whether a new friend or a new edition to the extended family. Rest in eternal peace.

Barb (Wife of your nephew Tim)
