Obituary of Peter Duynstee

Passed away peacefully at the age of 93 at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital with family at his side. Wonderful and beloved husband of Netta (née Wardrop) for over 20 years. Peter is reunited with his much loved first wife Beatrice (1999). Loving and supportive father of Eugene (Vicki), Pete (Claire), Theresa (Jason) and Cathy Kerr. Proud and cherished Opa of Mark (Lisa), Kevin (Brittany), Pamela (Josh), Cassandra, Byron, Rebecca (Connor), Zachary, and Jacob. Loving member of Netta’s family Susan Thorpe (David), Paul Beckwith (Susan) and Mark Beckwith (Susan), Kristen (Brenden), Allison, Matthew, Neil, and Edward. Raised in the Netherlands, Peter arrived in Canada 68 years ago. Since that time, he obtained his P.Eng. designation, completed a successful career at Molson Industries, and together with Beatrice raised their family. Those who knew Peter well will remember him as a dedicated and loving father and husband, hardworking, with a great sense of humour, and very sharp mind. Peter loved the outdoors, sailing, and travelled extensively. He particularly enjoyed his time with the Oakville Pathfinders Hiking Club and completed the end to end walk on the Bruce Trail three times! Although the last few years have been challenging for Peter, he was well cared for by his ever-loving wife, Netta.
