Peter David Thomas

Good bye for now big brother. I have so many good memories of our times as children. First in Lethbridge and later on at Old Fort Henry in Kingston. Throughout our lives we have many times lived long distances away from each other even continents apart but have always remained close in spirit. Whenever we were able to meet up we always had wonderful adventures together especially with our families and extended family. I think you are now just on another of your great adventures. Love you and miss you. Until the next adventure together. Your little sister.

Was so very fond of Pete. Shared old family stories and enjoyed his company at the Legion. Rest in peace Pete.

A gentleman, mentor and friend. One of the good ones ... lost prematurely.
Thank you for your service.
Yours Aye

Sincere condolences to Peter’s family and friends near and far. He was one of the great ones who welcomed me in External Affairs with kindness and empathy and was so very generous with his time to help me learn - he always made me feel welcomed on a world that was so very new to me. Bless his soulful, funny awesome gentlemanly and kind ways - he truly was one the great ones!! RIP Peter, this world was better because of you - bet the next one is too!!!

Debbie & Shawn - my sincere condolences to you and your families. Pete was a wonderful person, to work with or play with. A true gentleman. R.I.P.

Peter's trademark was an easy going, capable and helpful manner which was always on display. A pleasure to have worked with for many years.
Sincere condolences to his family.

To the Thomas family
My sincere condolences on the passing of Pete. I knew Pete during our careers with External Affairs/Foreign Affairs and he was a wonderful caring person always ready to help and lend a hand. I fondly remember staying with Pete and Marlene in Nairobi, wonderful hosts as we sat in the backyard under palms trees watching their border collie chase frizbees for hours. A true gentleman always ready with a story about some adventure.
May he rest in peace.

You will be sadly missed and I will miss having you as a dart partner. Rest in Peace my Friend

Heartfelt condolences Debbie, Shawn and family on the passing of your Dad.

I’ve known Pete for many years, starting from the same day we joined the Department of External Affairs in 1977. He was a great help to me in those early days when I struggled to learn the thousands of moving parts that made up a Teletype machine. He was a great host and tour guide when I made a short visit to Nairobi and was a great colleague during our year together in New Delhi. Later in life, after his move to Airdrie, he was a regular stopover point for us, with always a welcome room and a chance to share a spicy Indian take-out dinner. He loved a game of darts and if there was a pint to accompany it, so much the better. Pete was dependable, stoic, and had a great sense of humor and adventure which served him well through his many assignments abroad. He will be missed by the many friends he has made throughout his life.
Sincerest condolences to all his family in Canada and Swedan.

To Debbie & Shawn - Sending you my heartfelt condolences at this very difficult time. I was so glad to have known your Dad over the past 40+ years. I will miss his good sense of humour and all the daily cat posts. May he rest in peace.

We will miss you Pete- your smile, funny sense of humor, and great burger grilling.

Pete was always available to lend a helping hand. He worked tirelessly for the Poppy Campaign and always had a friendly smile and greeting for anyone who came to the Legion. You will be missed, Sir. Rest in peace. 🙏❤️🙏

Thanks for everything Pete! You were a great colleague.

Rest in Peace old soldier your tour is over. Til we meet again for a game of darts.
