Dearest Josée, Annie and Patrick.
I have just heard of the passing of Pete, after his incredibly courageous fight with cancer. What a warrior he has been, fueled by the love and support of family. May this wonderful man Rest In Peace, and may you and your family draw stength from one another during this difficult time.
Pete & I worked very closely with one another in the "Battle Box" as a coordination section for all CFNIS investigations in Canada and worldwide. I still talk about his encyclopedic knowledge of the Criminal Code, and all policies, regulations and case law related to the business of policing. I never won a coffee bet with Pete... on anything. If he said the information was in the book, he would instantly reach into the book and turn to the right page.
Above all else, I was struck by Pete's focus to do what was right. He was an incredible mentor to me [and likely everyone that he me, if they were smart enough to listen] and a legion of investigators in often trying circumstances. Pete was the consummate professional. He knew what right looked like and he was courageous in his convictions and resilient.
Pete--husband, father, friend, and professional--established a rare high standard that will continue to inspire through all of us who he has touched and changed.
Mes sincères condoléances à toute la famille.
Rest In Peace, Brother. We have the Watch.
