Oh Annette and family. I am so sorry. You are such a giving and caring lady. I only got to chat to Peter a few times but he seemed like a lovely fellow.
Annette; I am sorry to here about Peter,if there is anything that I can do to help you through this trainsition please give me a call.
Jim, you have my heartfelt condolences, my thoughts are with you & your family during this sad time.
I worked with Jimbo at Marco's in 1982-83 and I'll always remember his dad Peter for the time on the Labatt's speed boat in Turkey Point when Peter sat beside me at the back of the boat and said, "how come you're not sitting beside my son" and I replied, "because he'll probably throw me overboard, ha ha" and then your dad said, "Ohh ... my son would never do that, ... BUT I WOULD!" and then Peter pushed me overboard and I did a complete 360 backwards and had a Labatt's Blue stubby bottle in my hand and held it up in the air and didn't get a drop of lake water in it and your dad laughed and said, "That girl's got her priorities straight, she saved the Labatts first!" Jim, your dad was always happy and funny, I never saw him frown ever. You were blessed to have such a great dad! My condolences
Drinking stories? Yes, I'm sure there are memories that can be shared amongst ourselves, although some clearer than others. I have known Peter for over thirty years. He was always jovial and easily shared a smile. There are good days and there are bad days. Peter said the good days always out number the bad ones. Here's to all the good ones. Thank's for reminding me. You will be missed. John Neskovic
Yep. I figure since my little brother shared a drinking story, I will too. After all, Labatts helped raise me and send me to university!
Unlike Jim, I was a good boy and waited until I was 18. Not only that, the first time I walked into a bar it was with Dad at my side. I had a day off in the summer and Dad suggested I go with him on his "rounds". At each place we stopped, and took time for a drink, I would order a coke. Straight. (in case you do not know, or haven't guessed, I seldom drink alcohol)
Well, at one place the manager says to my Dad, "Pete, how can I trust you as my Labatt rep if you can't even sell your own son on the stuff?"
Quick as a wink Dad says, "Richard is my designated driver today."
And that was our Dad. Always quick with the one liners. In fact, that was one of the things the staff at Hardy loved about him. Here he was, an 84 year old guy, seemingly starting to have trouble focusing on conversations, but still able to pull off the one-liners with flair.
We will miss them, and you, Dad.
I have so many stories to tell about Dad but my favorite one was when I was 17 years old. Now back in my day the drinking age was 18 but I couldn't wait to get out there and get into it with my buddies. Drinking in a park, on the beach and so forth was fun but the big deal was in a bar. So 1 night all my buddies and I gathered and decided we were all going to go to a bar and drink under age. Great! It was exciting and a huge deal for a small town Simcoe boy. So off we went to the Governor Simcoe Hotel. No one will know me there, right? I mean I don't go to bars. We all walked in (with fake I.D... it was easy to get back then), sat down and along came the waiter. He asked us for I.D., which we provided, took our order and walked away. Alright, I got away with it. In 2 minutes I'm going to be drinking in a bar. I even had goose bumps. Hey Now! Then came the tap on my shoulder. It was the bartender. He looked down on me and said, "Boy, I need to speak with you over at the bar". Oh no, am I caught? Will I go to jail? Will he call my Dad? I'm dead. He took me over to the bar, put his big hand on my shoulder (and this guy was huge compared to me) and said in a very deep voice, "Boy, aren't you Pete Killey's Boy?" Done, I was caught. But how? Did someone rat me out? Who? I said, "Ya, I am. How did you know?" He replied, "Your Dad knows everybody Boy and everybody knows your Dad including his Boy." He was nice but I didn't get my drink. He promised me that he would never tell my Dad which he didn't. I told my Dad a year later when, on my 18th birthday when my Dad and a friend of his took me out to the Governor, that I got caught a year earlier. My Dad looked at me and said, "I already know Boy." I said, "how?" He replied, "I know everybody Boy and everybody knows me including my Boy." I'll miss you Dad. Love always, your Boy Jimbo. xoxo

Dear Annette, Richard, Jim, and family members, Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of Peter. We were blessed to have had him as a close friend for well over thirty years. The many good times we all shared were certainly fun-filled and very often "adventurous". We know that when we think of Pete it will always be with a smile and the knowledge that "the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise" we will see him again. Know that you are in our thoughts and we send our love to all of you, Dennis and Carole
