Boris Telizyn says
Our deepest condolences to the entire Loveday family for the loss of patriarch, Peter, especially Joan, Graham (Michelle), Samantha (Rich) and the grandchildren. I recall Peter and my first meeting, where we spent a brief 3-hours discourse on:
– Child v. Clancy v. Cussler
– The Art of War
– Philosophy v. Stoicism
– The nuanced difference between MI5 and MI6
– WWII
– Football
– Parenthood
– Immigration
…simply amazing man, a true gent, a pure gem, and generous with his knowledge! Husband, father, grandfather, friend, mentor, surrogate dad to all: he shall be missed, but he shall be remembered.
Eternal love and prayers,
Boris and The Telizyn Family (Andy, Nina & Mango)

My condolences to Joan, Graham and everyone in the Loveday family. I have known Peter for the better part of 30 years. In my later childhood/teenager years, Peter and Joan welcomed me in their home more times than I can count. For visits, dinners, Birthdays, Bbqs, or even a game of darts. In my later years I was welcomed several times to their summer trailer in Elmvale. On top of their overwhelming generosity, what made the trailer extra special, was sitting around the fire for hours listening to Peter’s intriguing stories. Living in England, working at Bell Canada, Retirement, and everything in between. Truly memorable visits.
Mr. Peter Loveday, you were a pivotal part of my life, and I will miss your stories, your company, and I will miss you as a friend.
