Peter Nowak

NOWAK, Peter Frederick Strasbourg – May 12th, 1958 – March 12th, 2014. A beautiful snowy morning, wrapped in the arms of his soul mate Sheila and surrounded by his four incredible children; Amber, Brett, Sean and Grant, along with his grandbunny Waffles and grandpuppy Indiana Jones, Peter passed peacefully at home. Peter was welcomed by his parents Huguette and Klaus, sister Michele, father-in-law Roy, special cousin Daniel and many other aunts and uncles. Loved and fondly remembered by Danielle and Michael, Paul, Barbara, Bob and Maria, favourite niece Nicole, Carol, Uncle Helmut and Aunt Sigrid in Germany, Uncle Gerard and Aunt Ghislaine, many other aunts, uncles, cousins, amazing neighbours, wonderful friends and great co-workers. Peter is deeply missed already.  A special thanks to all who supported Peter with their kindness and love including his doctors, his nurses (who are very special people), other staff and volunteers who have given us so much support at the cancer centre, Peter’s occupational therapist Shoabana whose kindness overflowed when she came into our home, personal support worker Amanda who provided such a ray of sunshine to begin Peter's final day, nurse Margaret who was there from the beginning and provided such support when re-assurance was needed in the dark and nurse Lena whose compassion Peter felt the most in his last days.  The lunch ladies helped us immensely with moments of kindness and love which we all felt. A special thanks to Ruth who has been such an inspiration to us all as the kind of friend we should all strive to be and was a beacon of light to Peter.  We are blessed to have been able to spend true quality time for over a year with Peter.  A celebration of  Peter's life will be held closer to his birthday.
