Obituary of Peter Manchester

Age 73, of Leamington, Ontario, passed away surrounded by his family on Tuesday, November 7th, 2017. Pete was born June 30, 1944 in Windsor, Ontario to Cecil and Shirley Manchester. Throughout his youth, he wreaked havoc with his brothers Terry & Wayne and sisters Susan & Linda. He met his wife Jacqueline and married her in June of 1968, she was the only one allowed to call him Peter, not Pete. Together they lovingly welcomed their 4 children: Tammy, Robin, Chris and Melanie and later, grandson Killian. Through marriage, they happily welcomed daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Kendall. Pete loved being with his family and his family loved being with him. He proudly served overseas with the Royal Canadian Army, and to this day, we"re sure we haven"t heard all of the stories. Pete made even more friends for life during his time at Chrysler's and happily retired in 2000. He hunted, he farmed, he sailed, he built, Pete did everything. He had the amazing ability to talk to anyone, about anything, at anytime. Pete was an amazing man who was loved by all, and loved all unconditionally. He never met a stranger, only friends that he welcomed with open arms, like Reg & Cis, Clair and Dayna. A big shout out to Erie Shores Hospice, Amy, Jess, Kate, Lucy and Bruno to name a few. You helped us give Pete the send off he deserved and because of all of you, he was able to ride off into the sunset with dignity, and his middle finger up! Please donate to that wonderful place, they put up with him for 3 weeks! He will be forever missed and never forgotten. Arrangements entrusted to SIMPLE CHOICE CREMATION CENTRE (519-254-2585).
