The Late Pete Mahar,

 

We are all saddened by the loss of Pete, he had a sense of humour second to none.

Not mentioned in all the "obits" was the fact that Pete was a keen fisherman, he persuaded me annually to take out my little run-about to some salmon bearing stream in Ontario where he "guaranteed" a catch, he had personally made all the salmon roe bait balls.and could not fail.

He wore his trade-mark hat with cork stoppers hanging down from the brim, guaranteed to "keep away elephants" (we never saw any) but we did see mosquitoes and black fly.

He did visit the West Coast after his brother died in Victoria several years ago, and true to his calling brought his newly developed "glow roe salmon egg" bait which he assured me would make him a fortune.

 

He will be missed but I am sure Saint Peter will reserve a place on his boat for him
