No more patterns to grade, no more plies of fabric to layup, no more cuts/bundle/ticketing
Pfaff (Kaiserslauten) is in goods hands.
The final seam has been stitched.
Passed away on Wednesday 6:41am in Toronto
@ Fieldstone Commons LTC, with his son at his side, at the very end. Thank you to Sharon & Dr. Ling. Jishy & the staff. Thank you to his entire family for his care, shopping, appointments, upkeep and support. Complications from dementia, pneumonia, UTI & hypernatremia & failure to thrive, was the cause of death.
Mike was very proud of his 3 sons.
He enjoyed, from ’65-‘98, the weekends at the Donauschwaben Park, the cottage. He had hoped for more time at the Park, but that was not in the cards.
It has been a long journey with no regrets.

i remember this man from the 80's
when I would visit Pete's business out in Scarborough.
He was always at his cutting table creating something...always seemed so content doing what he loved and staying busy at MPM.
Quiet spoken but always acknowledged me in his own way.
in later years Pete told his dad kept busy in the yard with his lawn mower and his long walks...I mean long.
Like many immigrants to this country perseverance, hard work, discipline and shear will power dealing with unbelievable obstacles shone in many of the stories Pete shared with me with his Dads trec to Canada. The qualities stayed with him till he passed. He is free now and chose to leave quietly. Very admirable.
