From his nephew?s (Elmer Howard) family history:
Peter was a stonemason, who worked with my father. He was an easygoing sort of fellow, a great planner, a good father, and was always kind to me when I was a boy. He used to often see that I had a little silver to jingle in my pocket. He always appeared happy and could see the funny side of life. He loved a joke whether it was on him or the other fellow. He married Vina Neeley, raised six children: Herb, Fred, Myrtle, Olive, Jean, and Margaret. He lived in Toronto in later years where he carried on as a building contractor until he died, comparatively young ?56 I believe. From web site of Curtis Boyle, Jan., 2011.
