Condolence: A part of my youth has departed , but will never be forgotten in my heart. I had the privilege of growing up with Peter from elementary right through to high school. We were very competitive growing up, winning many championships in Hockey and Baseball. Peter was a true leader in his youth, a very aggressive slapshot and an even harder fastball. Spent many hours together at outdoor rinks and school baseball diamonds . We were a crazy bunch of Brookfield and Bayview bums. As we grew older, we would only see each other occasionally, often ending up at Tim Hortons, catching up on our busy and complicated lives and reminiscing about our past experiences. Peter will never be forgotten as long as I live.

Condolence: Peter lived across the street from me on Goulais Ave . I remembered that he was a very good hockey player and I was in awe of his hockey accomplishments .Thing was that he really didn't remember too much at the time because he had just been in a serious car accident and survived that.I saw how the accident effected him in terms of his physical abilities and he seemed frustrated that he could not do things the way he was used to doing them .I was seven years younger than him but I quickly became his little buddy. Peter was always working on cars and he would teach me for hours . He didnt have much patience for simple things like opening tight lids but he was always gentle with me and our relationship was then solidified .I grew up and moved away from the Soo and always had those memories of how he role modeled how to treat kids .He treated me like I was a somebody and that I will never forget . Thanks for the memories Peter . RIP old friend .

Condolence: Goodbye from one Brookfield bum to another. I am so sorry that life did not always treat you the best, Peter. But you always had the biggest heart and the best support from your ever-worrying mother. I am so sorry for you, Mrs. Mattalo. Losing a child is so very difficult and if we lived in a perfect world, it would never happen. But you will see Peter again and rest assured he will be happy and treated lovingly and respectfully. To the rest of the family, especially Wayne and family, you have my most sincere sympathy for your loss.

Condolence: My condolences to Peter's family. I met Peter through my work but we kept in touch after my retirement. He spoke often about his desire to race his car in Elliott Lake this summer. Life could be difficult for Peter but certainly in the last few years he seemed optimistic and much calmer. It is so sad that he was not able to achieve his dream to race his car.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy to all of Peter's family. When a link disappears from the chain, the chain will never recover. It is heartbreaking to lose a sibling, as they take a piece of our history and our hearts with them when they leave. My hope is that you all have wonderful memories of your times together as family to bring you comfort in the days ahead. (another Brookfield Kid)

Condolence: Mrs. Mattalo(Stella) I am so sadden to hear of your loss. Whenever I seen Peter out and about we would chat , laugh and sometimes cry. I always asked about you and he says my Mom always worries about me, she sure is a good Mother. Remember that by Gods grace he has taken another Angel home. May God strengthen you with his love and may Peter rest in Peace.
