A resident of Morrisburg for the past 21 years, Peter was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia on March 4, 1922. He was the son of Peter Tynski and Ludwika Gorniak of Crakow, Poland. He was the beloved husband of Elsie (nee Tracey), his wife of 62 years.
Peter left Sydney at the age of 19 to join the Canadian Armed Forces. He was stationed at Camp Borden, near Barrie, Ontario where he met his wife, Elsie. He returned to Sydney in 1947 and began his 34 year career with Sydney Steel. He was proud to be a steelworker and was skilled at many trades.
Peter and his wife left Sydney in 1988 to reside in Morrisburg, Ont. There he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, playing cards with friends, visiting his sister-in-law, Jean in Barrie, planting cucumbers for his special dill pickles and sitting quietly with his cats. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion.
Peter's last five months were spent at Woodland Villa in Long Sault where he received tender loving care from staff and friends.
He will be sadly missed by his sons, Ron of Vancouver, B.C., Gary of Montreal, Q.C., Derek (Sheena) of Halifax, N.S. and daughter, Cheryl of Morrisburg and by grandchildren, Alison and Anthony Knapman and Rachel and Logan Tynski.
