His sister Margaret Downs and sister-in-law Nan Pratt reside in Campbellton and he leaves many nieces and nephews. Surviving are his daughter, Susan and her husband Gareth Christie, his cherished grandchildren; Travis and his wife Diane (MacGregor), Pamela and her husband Benson Colpitts, his great grandchildren Alana, Isaac and Joshua Colpitts, all of Fredericton, NB. His blue eyes always sparkled when they were around him and he chuckled at his great grandchildren's endearing name for him, Frappy Pete. Peter served as a locomotive engineer with the RCE during World War II, transporting people and supplies throughout Europe. Peter retired as a CNR engineer in the mid 70's and remained active and interested in his church, gardening, woodworking and community activities for many years. He was a member of the First United Baptist Church in Campbellton, The Royal Canadian Legion, the Orange Lodge, the Masonic Lodge and the "Downstairs Boys". He sought to pattern his life after the Bible verse found in James 4:17. He moved to Fredericton in 2001, where he resided in the Veterans Health Facility and had a special camaraderie with other veterans and the caring staff, ever ready for the cribbage game, a quote from poet Robert Service and a good cup of hot tea. A graveside committal service will be held in the summer of 2004 in Campbellton, NB. The family would appreciate memorial gifts be made to Atlantic Baptist University, Box 6004, Moncton, NB, E1C 9L7 or the Endowment Fund of Greenwood Drive United Baptist Church, P.O. Box 3637, Station B, Fredericton, NB, E3A 5L7. www.bishopsfuneralhome.com
