We were so saddened to hear of the passing of our very special friend and past colleague. My first days with Macdonald Realty over 20 years ago, were filled with excitement of learning the ropes with the Dolphins and Lagoons team – David Jurome and Peter. We spent so much time together as a family of realtors selling and enjoying the high-rise experience on the waterfront . Over the years we always had a special bond of memories as our paths altered but kept in touch via Big White and the Yacht Club. Peter’s passion for boating was recognized and his smile was always big when entertaining friends and clients aboard his boat. He was a born talker and salesman- a friend to many and will be surely missed . We send along our wishes to the family as we all remember this special man. Kathryn Parkhill and Peter Campbell.
I got to know Peter during a trip to Vernon Yacht Club on his boat and through professional affiliations. A classy, professional and generous man. My condolences go out to his close friends and family. Sorry for your loss.
I first met Peter in 1998 when I moved up to Big White for the first time. Through Peter I also made a few friends that also will be very sad about Peter’s passing. I enjoyed socializing, skiing, and listening to his honest, straightforward, real estate advice. He was an honourable man and I will miss him greatly. Encourage everyone to make a donation of any kind to the Cancer Centre. What a shame.
Sincerely
John Hickey
Kelowna and Big White just won’t be the same without ‘uncle’ Pete and that mischievous smile that seemed to be contagious. A heart of gold willing to open his doors to friends and strangers alike whether on the hill or lake, he was a personality we dearly enjoyed.
Our deepest condolences to family and friends.
I am so sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. He was a hard working and good man – he went out of his way on many occasions to give me assistance or advice when I was starting my career. He didn’t have an ego and truly wanted to help. So sorry for your loss.
Peter we danced it broke my heart to hear you left the floor. Rest easy my friend. …
My deepest sympathies to all of Peter’s many dear friends and family. I feel like I have lost my brother. It seems so surreal to think he has left this earth. Unfortunately I could not personally attend his service today but my heart was there. God Bless him. We will meet again.
Peter was my two sons’ ‘granddad’. Peter chose that name. It must have sounded more hip? He didn’t want to seem old to them. They had the opportunity to go on a skiing trip one winter with him, and one summer they went boating and to the Yacht Club. Peter treated them very generously. He couldn’t believe how tall they were! The only regret is that now they are adults they would have loved to spend more time with him, but it was not to be. Cancer took away that opportunity. He told the boys they were polite and respectable and that I did a great job with them. I’m sorry I couldn’t have known you better Peter.
You will be greatly missed by Ben and Dallas,
Linda MacLeod

Peter I am saddened to hear the news or your passing. Fondly remembering great laughter, your smile, your humour. Reminiscing of two stepping and bull riding at the OK Corral, sipping Crantinis at the Eldorado on Friday nights, your diesel Mercedes that would take 45 minutes to warm up before you could actually drive. Great memories my friend. You will be really missed. Charity
Not much time has passed since Peter left us, it feels like in many ways he is still here on earth with us, but I know he is in a much better place now, with no pain or limitations. I struggle when I visit the places we all got together at in Kelowna. He was a kind, gentle and generous soul. I’ll see you on the other side Peter, rest in peace my friend.
