We Remember

GROSCH, Peter Brooks

January 13, 1940 — March 2, 2024

Peter Grosch, 84, lived a life marked by the rugged embrace of the outdoors. An aficionado of the wild, he found solace in the untamed expanse of nature. Hunting was more than just a pastime for Peter. His hound dogs were his companions in the chase, especially in pursuit of cougars, earning him the moniker “Cougar Pete” among those who knew him best. Amidst his pursuits, he also found pleasure in the art of taxidermy, preserving the memories of his hunts with a meticulous hand.

But Peter’s connection to the natural world extended beyond the thrill of the hunt. He revelled in the quiet moments spent fishing by the river’s edge and cherished the scent of freshly chopped wood, a tangible reminder of his symbiotic relationship with the land, he always had chopped wood at hand. As a guide outfitter, he shared his passion for the wilderness with others, imparting wisdom gleaned from years of traversing rugged terrain.

Yet, amidst the rugged exterior, Peter possessed a softer side. His love for animals was evident in the gentle way he interacted with them, a testament to his innate empathy. And when the day’s adventures came to a close, he found joy in the simple pleasure of country music and the rhythmic sway of a dance floor beneath his boots.

In the end, Peter Grosch’s life was a testament to the harmony found in embracing the raw beauty of the natural world—a symphony of hunts and dances, of woodsmoke and laughter, echoing through the annals of time.

Peter will be held dear in the hearts of his family: his beloved wife Sharen; his children Dennis, David, and Stefanie, as well as his stepchildren Tawnya, Natasha, and Holly; his grandchildren Willie, Zach, and Douglas, and step-grandchildren Hailee, Kaiden, Kohen, Autumn, and Hunter; as well as his four-legged family members, Daisy the chocolate lab and the of course the hounds.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Alzheimer Society of Canada.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
