Obituary of Peter Kulesh

July 13, 1924 ~ December 23, 2010 These boots were bought for working… They served Peter well and long. Sadly, Peter ad his Partners, Have sung a last swan song. Go in Peace, old P.K. Rest your oh-so-weary head. We recall you working in these boots, Now you’re resting will instead! Being a prairie child who grew up in the dirty 30’s, Peter learned to make do with the equipment at hand. As a result, he made his way through life, forever ‘inventing’. Sometimes we chuckled at his inventions but we have had to concede that these very inventions were often quite brilliant. He truly loved working with his hands! In the 1960’s he settled in Chilliwack and bought the Green Gables Motel. When that was sold, he bought some new work boots and began doing odd jobs throughout the area… building houses, roto-tilling in the spring and fall and snow blowing in the winter. He and all his faithful boots worked together for many a year, until Peter decided to ‘slow down’ a bit. At that time, this pair of well-worn boots were retired, but Peter still puttered about his garage for a few more years. Peter leaves his wife, Enid and son Larry (Elaine) of Comox, his step family Ian (Lise), Chilliwack, Sandi (Edd) of Chilliwack, Ross (Shelly) of Airdrie, Alberta, numerous grand-children, great-grand-children, nieces, nephews and their children. A private family gathering will be held later to remember the life of Peter. If friends so wish, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association of Chilliwack, a group which has made a huge difference in our lives! Thank you to the many people, most notably the care workers at Glenwood Care Home, Agassiz, who helped Peter and family. Such kindness has been shown to all of us!
