In the winter of 1961 he married his lifelong sweet heart, Josie. They started their married life on the Bar -EF Ranch, south of Sceptre in the Great Sandhills. While on the ranch, Pete and Josie farmed and raised cattle. Pete enjoyed big game hunting and coyote hunting with his hounds. Pete was a member of Signal Valley Co-op pasture and over the years he was also the Caretaker, Director and President. Pete’s passion was ranching and lived his life as a true cowboy. On the ranch they raised their four children, until they moved into Medicine Hat in the fall of 2005 and retired. In retirement he enjoyed golfing, bowling, fishing, rodeo and keeping up with the cattle sales. He made many friends bowling and in their neighbourhood.
