It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear Peter Hamilton Smith.

Pete grew up in and around Vancouver with his predeceased parents, Alfred and Sadie Smith. He moved to Winnipeg in the early 70’s. He worked at MacDon Industries for 27 years as a truck driver, until he retired in 2001. His love of Harley Davidson grew very strong from a young age. He loved riding. As well he cherished his time at the Wellness Institute where he met very good friends.

He leaves behind his best and cherished friend, Eileen Barker, and their fur baby Bella. He also leaves behind daughter-in-law Laura Davies; grandchildren, Brittany, Meaghan (Christian), and Troy; great grandchildren, Nico and Zaiden; previous wife and good friend, Marilyn (Danny) Alspaugh; his daughters, Pamela and Yvonne; son Rob (Johanna) Mauro, and grandchildren, Jason, Jordan, Ava, Victoria, and Katlyn in BC.

The family would like to sincerely thank 3 South at the Grace Hospital for their compassionate care over the last few months. Especially Dr. Joshua, Dr. George, and charge nurse Isabeau Llorente. Also grateful for his friends, George (Allison) Swain, Barb (Dan) Jenkins, John (Chris) Duffy, and Carl Stevens, and his amazing neighbours, Joel Sangil and Sheryle Garant, for their support and care.

Honouring Pete’s wishes, no formal service will take place. If friends so desire, a donation in Pete’s name can be made to a charity of their choice would be greatly appreciated.

He will be missed and cherished in our hearts forever.
